Food-source education, not veterinary advice or plant identification. Suspected harmful ingestion, not eating or illness needs direct veterinary contact. Do not wait for a note or an app reply. No portion, safe waiting interval or feeding permission is provided.
No photo or text identification happens here
PDSA says not to feed a plant you cannot identify or one exposed to pesticides or fertilisers. RWAF also stresses reliable identification and avoiding contaminated collection areas. A common name, a matching leaf shape or this website’s artwork does not complete that check.

A list cannot prove absence of harm
RSPCA Australia labels its poisonous-plant list as incomplete. Absence from a short list is not proof that a plant is suitable. This pantry has no exhaustive plant database, poison severity grade or rule that an unrecognized entry is safe.

Washing is not a universal rescue step
The welfare sources advise washing fresh foods, but that advice does not turn an unidentified, chemically exposed or unsuitable plant into feed. The temporary note cannot verify where a plant grew, what was applied to it or which parts are present.

Possible ingestion needs the real service
If a rabbit may have eaten a harmful or unknown item, contact the appropriate veterinary service directly. Do not use this page to calculate exposure, induce a response or wait for symptoms. No plant sample, image or clinical history is sent from the form.
