        What is the nutritional value of flowers for rabbits? Should they be reserved as treat foods?

        Following the advice of sites like this I am feeding around 1.5 cups of different leafy greens daily, and every few days I add a little bit of non-leafy veg and a small bite of fruit.

        If I add flowers to that mix, which part would they fit in to? I am guessing non-leafy veg? How many flowers can I feed him per day?

          Flowers are mostly used as treats or hay toppers. Meaning to sprinkle a bit of it on top of hay to entice buns to eat hay. A lot of bun parents do this if they have a bun that isn’t too keen on hay. For others that have buns that eat their hay they use flowers as treats.

            Great, thank you *thumbs up*

            Harry loves his hay so I will just give him flowers every now and then for variety.

              BB sells a great flower variety/hay topper. I buy the rose and cranberry mix from them. Skipper loves it. BB sells great quality products.

                  This is something I have wondered about too… Can bunnies eat any type of flower or are some poisonous? I know in the case of cats you need to be really careful what plants you bring home.

                    Some can be poisonous. I know roses and marigolds are okay.
