Yes, but it is indeed *LOTS*.


is this one of those things where the food causes a nutrient drain to
digest it, so if you eat it alone you die (you being the rabbit in
this case).

No, it's because it contains sedative and it was used as such in ancient
times.


Very similar to opium.

Default Rabbits



I'm repeating my original question? The leaves of some daffs in pots
were nibbled down to about 3 inches from the soil. Would a rabbit
prefer my daffs to its own grass?

For what it is worth, I find daffs are about the only things the b****
rabbits DON'T eat; but then I am out in the country where they have plenty
of choice.

I found that last year they didn't touch the courgettes, although they
had a go at almost everything else.
