    Hi Kath!

    Welcome to the board.

    Can't help you with this other than to say that our daughter's rabbits loved to nibble on the new leaves on our wisterias which I believe are supposed to be poisonous! They came to no harm.

    In my opinion, well fed domestic rabbits are unlikely to eat any natural greenery if it might do them some harm.

    You may get some more informed assistance shortly.

    [​IMG] Kath.. I would totally agree with Dai, a Magnolia & a lovely shaped one if I may say.... They are not known to be poisonous & anyway I think rabbits know what is poisonous to them as regards food.. :wink: If they are still running around I think you can say you are in the clear... :wink::D :dh: Awww Ziggy you big tease...!!! :D
