Day Lily
Hemerocallis spp.
Day lilies look pretty with their long skinny stems that branch out up top to show off big open flowers with six petals. They come in colors such as orange yellow purple pink or white, and sometimes even have interesting patterns on them. But they're not actual lilies.
Though they seem harmless, these plants have toxic stuff inside that could make your rabbit really sick if it eats any—like causing bad stomach pain or vomiting. If your rabbit is eating a good balanced diet, most will stay away from them. Still it's a smart move to keep the plants out of reach.
Remember don't feed day lilies to your pet, since even a tiny bite might leave them quite unwell.
