  Hi everyone,
  
  My two buns are in love with their sandbox I made them. Since they have not been outside and I do not want to risk it, I bought a patch of Bermuda Sod from Home Depot. However, I didn’t consider whether it is safe to give or not. Right now, it is in a box lined with a trash bag so that I can water it, etc.
  
  My Frankie is a little over a year and is getting into so many things out of boredom. Right now, I am training them both to do tricks but I’ve noticed the sandbox gets him focused.
  
  Is this sod safe to give? I know grass is (especially when grown indoors).
  
  Here is a link to the one I bought: Home Depot Bermuda Sod

  I can’t find anything to indicate it being treated with chemicals- just that it’s a variety with deep roots which is ideal for that type of product…..
  
  Bermuda grass is safe for rabbits I believe. Would your rabbit attempt to eat the dirt?

  They haven’t attempted to eat the sand, so I think they’d avoid the dirt as well.

  So, I set it up and let them interact with it. Junie likes it and jumps in. However, Frankie keeps thumping at it which I didn’t expect at all. Not sure why that is happening.

  It could be scent related. Depending on where the grass is cultivated, it could carry with it scent of predators!
