I had a baby bunny last year who nibbled on an orchid leaf...he went on to develop stasis/bloat and died despite our best efforts to save him.
My vet couldn't find anything to say orchid leaves are poisonous to bunnies but it was one heck of a coincidence .

sorry to hear about your bun
It may have been that it just upset his digestive system being as he was only 10 weeks old ,as we all know new 'foods' can do that, but I know I'd never have an orchid in the same room as bunnies now.
Ziggy had managed to jump on to a windowsill and nibble mine and I'd thought it was quite safe there.
Sorry, I meant orchids.

though i cant find anything on the safe or non safe list, i personaly would say no to be on the safe side.
I'm just going by the way they grow, they thrive on fungi and hook there roots in the strangest of places, have a nose on here,

ive been to the orchid gardens in singapore, its absolutly gorrrrrrrrrgous, though i have just learnt reading at the bottom some flowers are used for flavourings, learn summin new everyday
buns do have a habit of eating/nibbling things they shouldnt, so i would of thought a crafty nibble isnt a killer, just be on the safe side with them
