Coltsfoot
Tussilago farfara
Yes—rabbits can have coltsfoot as a rare treat, not a daily green. One small yellow flower or a few torn leaves is enough to encourage foraging beside unlimited hay. Introduce slowly, watch stools and appetite, and skip it for young, pregnant, or medically fragile pets unless your vet says otherwise.

Is Coltsfoot item toxic?
No in occasional trace amounts for many pets, but it is not a daily green and it is not a hay substitute. When in doubt, skip foraging flowers and ask your veterinarian, especially if your pet is pregnant, young, or medically fragile.
Should I feed my pet Coltsfoot?
Occasionally only, as a tiny treat to encourage foraging. Do not use coltsfoot as a staple salad item or hay replacement.
How much can I feed them?
Offer a single small flower or a few torn leaves rarely—think garnish, not a meal. Introduce any new plant food slowly and stop if stool changes or appetite drops.
