Are buddljah (butterfly bush) leaves poisonous to rabbits?

My 18 eat them with impunity in small amounts . . the only problem I have ever had with them was when three buns discovered a huge pile of freshly cut buddlieja prunings and scoffed the lot in an hour while I had lunch! - resulting on three stuffed 'footballs' needing lots of metaclop and fluids!!!
 
He only ate the tip of the leaf as I took it off him so hopefully he should be ok! I thought rabbits avoided toxic plant material :)
 
I have a buddliah bush.....No idea about edibility.......Hmmmmmm.......could be interesting.....

buddliea is not toxic (just very tricky to spell) and a leaf will not hurt even if he is not used to it.

And no they don't avoid toxic plants that well . . .at least they don't avoid the plants we often think of as toxic to them.
