No—do not feed stock flowers to rabbits, guinea pigs, or chinchillas. Stock (Matthiola incana), also called gillyflower, is a fragrant garden and bouquet bloom, not forage. Pet plant lists often call it non-poisonous for dogs and cats, but it still sits in the cabbage family and florist stems may carry preservative or spray residue. Skip the blooms and leaves. Unlimited grass hay stays the main meal.
