Can rabbits eat sweet potato?
A quick, sourced answer from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance, with the why behind it.
Sweet potato
Best avoidedThe sweet potato root is very starchy and sugary, in the same group as regular potato and corn that rabbits are advised to avoid. Too much starch and sugar can upset the balance of gut bacteria, so it is best left off the menu. (Sweet potato vines, the leaves, are a different plant part and are safe.)
How much: Best avoided. The starchy root is the concern; the leaves and vines are safe.
