Any source for this information?

I doubt it. At least if it is not fed as staple food, but it is almost impossible to poison rabbits with plants that are pretty harmless to other mammals.
There may some toxins when fresh (as there are in completly harmless apple seeds), but I doubt there's any fresh catnip in that toy.

Imho catnip in a toy is safe.

google said it was an herb so it would be fine as long as it was fresh and not dried. y'all have me stumped now tho lol

in my experience, catnip isn’t worth it. Some rabbits don’t react well to it. 2 of my rabbits had a reaction to it and I had to rush them to a vet. Maybe it’s just them but I don’t know. Of course it’s up to you if you give your bunny catnip.

Other way round. A lot of toxins detoriate when plants get dried.
Fresh catnip is listed as somewhat toxic. Some smell in a toy does nothing.
