smoky just took a couple of bites out of our house plant, hope its not poisonous.

 

[Loz n Ebony]

Most house plants are poisoinous to rabbits.

 

[rezbeck]

oh **** i dont want him to die on me!!!!!!

Rezbeck,

Since it was a couple of bites, I wouldn't worry too much. Just keep aneye on him, and if he starts acting strange or foaming at the mouth,you should get him to the vets.

Of course, you don't want him to be chewing on any plants, but once ina while Tucker makes off with one of my palm tree leaves and he's beenfine.

You might try looking at http://earthhome.tripod.com/saferab.html Itmay or may not have the type of plant listed, but it's worth a try.

Keep us posted.

i dont know the true name of the house plant but its commonly known as a spider plant here in britain.

 

[rezbeck]

gjsara, if they arent supposed to be away fromtheir mother then why are they being sold then? ok i made a mistake atleaving the houseplant in his reach!!!!!

 

[Carolyn]

Tucker's had a bite from a spider plant too, Rezbek. It didn't kill him.

Just keep an eye on him.

Megan's eaten staples, carpet, paperclips, bugs,fake house plant, christmas tree....and god knows what else...and sheseems to be fine (if you ignore her meanness)





Megan was 6 weeks old when I got her.

 

[Loz n Ebony]

Oh sori i didnt mean 4 that to sound harsh. Mosthouse plants are poisoinous 2 bunnies but if it was only a lil bit imsure he'll be fine! Just keep him under observation.

luv loz

[rezbeck]

i do appreciate all your replies, thanks.

 

[Carolyn]

With all due respect, Michelle, I'd offer to everyone not to followyour trouble-bubble's diet of rubber bands, staples, etc. You've beenlucky that Megan's not had any difficulties.
