Borage
Borago officinalis
Guideline: Sometimes Treats
Type: Flowers
Also known as a starflower, an annual herb in the Boraginaceae family and native to the Mediterranean region. It is hairy and bristly all over its leaves and stems with five narrow triangular-pointed petals.
For Your Pet: The leaves are the edible portion of this flower. But they hold a lot of calcium, which is why you don't want to give your rabbit them too much of it. Therefore, borage makes a great occasional treat.
Warning: High in calcium, best to keep it to once or twice a week and never more than small amounts.
