  the only one I’m not sure on is lemongrass. Not sure if toxic, I’m guessing not as it is a food….though it might be the one thing they turn there noses up at.

  I put some in my hand and gave some to Bee, she smooshed her face in it then bounced off. Oh well it was worth a shot. Maybe Bun will like it.

  My guys love blackberry branches, they eat leaves and stems. I usually break off the thorns first. They have also had marigold blooms, but only DJ seems to really like flowers, the girls not so much.

  When I was transporting the buns up here I gave them a couple of marigolds…they ate them right up. At that point they might have tried anything. Didn’t get too many treats before…now they are spoiled rotten.

  Chammomile – Unsure, but I don’t see why they wouldn’t be safe.
  
  Blackberry leaves – Unsure.
  
  lemon grass – I don’t see why it wouldn’t be safe.
  
  rose petals – As long as you know they’re not treated with pesticides. Feeding flowers from a florist isn’t a good idea.
  
  spearment leaves – Certainly fine, these are a bunny favorite.
  
  lemon balm leaves – Definitely safe, I give those all the time.
  
  hibiscus flowers – Unsure.
  
  lavendar flowers – Unsure, but I’ve heard of people feeding them to bunnies.
  
  marigold flowers – I’ve given these before and the bun was fine, so I’d assume they’re safe
