Rabbits should not touch Stinkweed; toxic plant.

Stinkweed

Datura stramonium

Stinkweed is not safe for rabbits or other small pets—do not feed it. These weedy plants are named for their strong odor and are not part of a proper hay-and-vegetable diet.

Wild weed grazing is risky because many look-alike plants are toxic. Keep your rabbit on identified greens only.
