        I’ve seen many rabbit toy places selling these woven palm leaf chews/toys. I’m guessing they’re safe but is all palm tree leaves safe? I’ve seen nothing that said they weren’t but haven’t seen much that says they are. I live on the coast of Florida which means we have palm trees EVERYWHERE, including my house. I would love to make my own chews for my rabbit with them if I know they are defiantly safe. Also I see vine toys, what vines are safe?

          Sorry no one got to this sooner!
          I’ve done a little research and it appears that most palms are safe for rabbits, except for a ‘sago palm.’ If you can identify the exact type of trees by your house, it may be easier to research. As for the toys, if they are from a credible seller, such as BB here, you should be fine. I have given my bunnies palm leaves I picked myself, just make sure they are clean and pesticide free and that you let them dry out completely first.
          Blackberry/raspberry, grape and rose vines are fine for bunnies, though I’m not quite sure what the pre-made toys are made out of. You can call the company.

            I’m not sure what type of palms we have at my house. But I found some pictures on google maps of them at my house, (its too dark to take pictures and my address is not in the pictures)

              I don’t know about palms in regards to being rabbit safe. It looks like LEL was able to find some info on that. I always had avoid anything palm because one time I offered to get some of that curled up bark they drop for someones guinea pigs. I thought they might use it like a tunnel. The person quickly told me no as it would be toxic.  So I never really looked into it for rabbits.
              I tend to just pick things like willow and rose leaves, wood and petals as that’s what is around here.
              My friend gives her rabbits glory vine leaves and twigs and they like it. Mine snubbed it.

              I don’t know what palms you have there. I would avoid the one in the middle image though, only because it’s short stature looks similar to the sago palm.
              Maybe this guide will help identify what you have?
