Andromeda
No—rabbits should not eat andromeda (Pieris). The shrub’s toxins can cause gut pain and other serious signs, so keep plants and clippings far from the pen. Some gardeners use it as a wild-rabbit deterrent; pet rabbits need the same distance.
You’ll see evergreen leaves that shift green or orange-yellow by season, plus bell-shaped blooms. Never offer any part as food—if your rabbit chewed it, call your vet or a pet poison hotline.
