Is kalanchoe 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.

Kalanchoe (mother-of-thousands, flaming Katy)

Best avoided

Kalanchoe holds cardiac glycosides that can disturb the heart, and rabbits are listed among the animals poisoned by it in veterinary toxicology reports. Signs can include drooling, gut upset, an abnormal or racing heartbeat, weakness, and in serious cases collapse. A very common flowering houseplant.

How much: Never feed. Keep this popular flowering houseplant out of any room your rabbit roams.
