Is Lavender item toxic?
Lavender is not considered poisonous to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas in small amounts. Strong aromatic oils mean large portions may upset the stomach or reduce appetite for hay.
Should I feed my pet Lavender?
Yes—as an occasional herb treat for rabbits and guinea pigs, and rarely for chinchillas if yours accepts it. Many rabbits avoid it because of the scent.
How much can I feed them?
Offer a few flowers or a short sprig, not handfuls. Introduce slowly and watch stool. Use the calculator linked in this article so herbs stay extras on top of hay.
