Toxic plants

[candycar]

I’m moving and making an outdoor run for my bunny and need to know if these plants are toxic.  Hosta, black-eye-Susan, and Japanese Red maple tree.  They are all in the yard and I don’t want bunny to get sick. Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks! 

  I have looked at sites for poisonous plants, but they are confusing and don’t always have search engines.

Here is a list recommended by the House Rabbit Society, http://www.hrs.org.

I believe the above list is even more comprehensive, and worth checking out to download. In the meantime, I think it’s helpful for our members to see a copy of the first list I found on the HRS, so am copying it here. (I don’t see Hosta). The write:

“It is difficult to create a list of poisonous plants. While some plants are outright toxic to anyone who eats or comes in contact with the plant (Jimson Weed, nightshade), others may cause a reaction in some but not in others.
The following is a listing of plants normally thought to be poisonous. The list is not complete. People should not eat plants not grown as food crops. Children should be taught never to eat non-food crop plants. And you should restrict your pets’ access to questionable plants.
Poisonous plants vary between animals. Don’t assume that since a bird, squirrel or pig ate a plant with no problems, others (human or rabbit) can do the same.
Unless otherwise stated, consider all parts of the plant poisonous.
Never hesitate to seek medical aid if you think a person or animal has ingested a poisonous substance.”

The ASPCA list says it’s for Dogs/Cats/Horses, and DOES list Hosta.
Often, if something is not good for horses, it is not good for rabbits. Here’s a link to their very extensive list with pix:
