Rosemary grows very large, that's was one listedon the "herbs for rabbits" We had one in our backyard and it took over,you would need a rabbit to help keep it under control!

With Rosemary, the bunny will never be depressed
Absolutely you can plant dandelions.
Your rabbits would love you for them. Some of the other things rabbits enjoy the twigs and leaves from are:mulberry trees, a grape vine, blackberry bushes, oak trees, willow,pear or maple trees. They'll enjoy acorns if you let them. Plus youcan't forget about the grass!
Be sure not to treat with any pesticides, of course, and check thewebsite above in case you do decide on something - just to be on thesafe side.

Yes, but so is hay like "weeds," and bunnies loveboth hay and dandelions. I like dandelions and often put themin salad, that is the leaves. Buns will eat the flowers, aswell.

Hi Total Bunny,
Dandelions are actually considered a wild vegetable and rabbits love them.

Being rich inprotien and poor in fiber. The digestibility percentage is high at anestimated 70%. Well known for it's curative powers. The bitter milkysap stimulates the working of all glands, including the milk glands oflactating does. The plant has both laxative and astringent qualitiesand regulates constipation and diarrhea.
Dandelion is good for many things in people and can be used for rabbitswith these problems also: preventing osteoporosis (for the old bunny),bladder infections, lactating, liver problems, swelling, tonsilitis,warts, and pneumonia.
I feed alot of Dandelion every day, especially to my babies and theyjust love it, but you have to be careful because that is all that theywill want and won't eat their pellets. So I limit it to a few smallhandfuls a day." Cheryl
Dandelion Made My Bunnies Glow With Health!
"I have been giving my rabbits Dandelion leaves every morning forthe last two weeks. Two (2) leaves to my Dwarfs and four (4) leaves tomy Mini Rex and 6 to 8 leaves to my Flemish. After two weeks they allseem to glow! They are eating well, increased drinking, their fur islooking great and recovering from moult in fine fashion - not lingeringin moulting for weeks and missing the shows. I now have a little"dandie" garden, because I can't believe the extreme changes with myconcentrated efforts of daily dandelion leaves." Deanna
