My kitty has a toy that is filled with catnip on the floor and when Penelope (bunny) was out running around the house, she stoped and sniffed the cat toy for about 5 seconds, shook her head, and ran off again.

 

Sure, it's a type of herb.

It's harmless. I give my buns cat toys all the time.

I LOVE these forums - I've seen so many questions that I've wondered but didn't want to bother people with! And I've learned so much, I feel like a pro. Haha, I've read these, I've read a lot of different websites, I've made my own opinion a lot by looking at others and websites and such. I'm so excited to go through the years and have personal experiences.

I don't think it's ok to eat though-touch is fine, but ...well don't quote me but I don't think it's safe for them to be fed it.

Aren't chives a type of herb? I know those aren't safe! Not that catnip isn't, I just honestly don't know about that one.

As far as I know, they can eat fresh catnip. They don't react to it like a cat would.

 My understanding catnip is it is a mint, and it is also non-toxic (though I don't know about it in the fresh form???). I have never tried it with my own bunnies but the link that led to Dana Krempels' explanation says that most bunnies don't like it.
