Is daylily toxic to rabbits?

An answer based on the best available pet-safety guidance. If your bunny has chewed this plant, call your exotic vet right away.

Daylily

Best avoided

Daylily is genuinely debated for rabbits: some sources report gut upset and weakness, others say small amounts are tolerated, and it is famously toxic to cats. With no clear rabbit-care guidance and a real chance of harm, we list it as best-avoided. A very common garden perennial.

How much: Best avoided. Keep daylilies out of reach until you have checked with your vet.

We couldn't find a credible rabbit-specific source for this, but general pet-safety sources flag it as a risk to pets. Please check with your exotic vet to be safe.
