Is Rosemary item toxic?
Culinary rosemary is not treated as poisonous to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas at small herb-sized portions. Essential oils and concentrated extracts are not the same as a fresh sprig—avoid those.
Should I feed my pet Rosemary?
Yes—as a small daily herb accent for rabbits and guinea pigs, and a tiny pinch for chinchillas when introduced slowly. Strong flavor—keep amounts modest next to unlimited hay.
How much can I feed them?
Offer a short sprig of leaves or a few needle strips, not a fistful. Rotate with other herbs so no single aromatic plant dominates the salad. Use the calculator linked in this article so fresh foods stay proportional.
