        Our rabbit Chewy was scampering around and climbed in one of the cloth shopping bags. We heard some chomping. Upon investigating apparently we forgot to take out the parsley and chives out of the bag. Well reaching for him the little snot ran off to a spot he knows we can’t reach. (without pulling furniture) And he calmly ate his stollen herbage.

        I’m not concerned about the parsley. He ate like maybe an infant’s sized handful of it, but I am concerned with the chives. He ate like 4-6 regular sized sprigs be we pulled the couch out of the way.
        Will he be okay? I know onions and their cousins are toxic to rabbits, but is that like with ANY or just constantly feeding it day in, day out.

          My guess is he will be just fine, hopefully someone with experience with this particular issue will post.
          As with all health concerns, monitor his water and food intake as well as his output and activity level. If you are concerned, contact the vet.

            I agree with LEL, I don’t thhave be you need to be overly concerned.
            I’m felt more relaxed about plant toxicity after reading an excerpt by Dr Frances Harcourt-Brown, worlds leading rabbit vet. I posted that in this thread.

              By the way, so strange he preferred the chives over the parsley!

                I agree, a bit of chives is not a problem. It’s not sth you’d want to feed every day for a prolonged period of time, since it’s from the onion-family, but your not planning on doing that.

                Wild rabbits like to eat chives in the spring. Years when there are many rabbits around, I’ve had to fence off my chives with chicken wire to get some for myself. They only want the tender young chives, never touch it later in the season.
