Is chrysanthemum toxic to rabbits?
A sourced answer from House Rabbit Society and RWAF guidance. If your bunny has chewed this plant, call your exotic vet right away.
Chrysanthemum (pot mum)
Best avoidedThe leaves and stems hold natural pyrethrins (a plant insecticide) and other irritants. Eating it causes drooling, gut upset and diarrhoea, and the plant can irritate skin too; large amounts can affect the nervous system. A very common pot plant and cut flower. (This is the toxic 'daisy' type; the safe lawn daisy is a different plant.)
How much: Never feed. Keep potted mums and cut chrysanthemums away from rabbits.
