Is horse chestnut 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.
Horse chestnut (conker)
Best avoidedAll parts hold aesculin, with the nut (conker), unripe fruit, flowers and young leaves the most toxic. Small amounts cause drooling, belly pain and diarrhoea; more brings nervous-system signs like twitching, weakness, wobbliness and dilated pupils.
How much: Never feed any part. Keep conkers and fallen leaves out of reach.
If your bunny has already eaten this, call your exotic vet now.
