Well today is an eventful day...
Rosie the stray rabbit has been brought round by her ex-owners with her friend Penelope. (I'll post picks later...)
I left Penelope in the run while I put Rosie into my indoor hutch, and when I came back I found Penelope had escaped from the run, jumped up on to the wall about 5ft from the run and startd to eat the ivy. I grabbed her while she was still munching and tried to pull the rest out of her mouth.
She's fine at the moment (happened about 30 mins ago) but I know this is a poisnous plant...I'm not sure what to do. The last time I called the vet about Buzz eating a poisnous plant they told me Ishould wait for symptoms.
What sort of symptoms would ivy cause?
PS, I now have FIVE rabbits.
PPS I think I'm in shock!

Not that I condone feeding it to them, but just to illustrate that it's not necessarily a life threatening situation as it could be with some plants. I think it is a stomach irritant and effects tend to be proportionate to the amount eaten; if it was just a little munch I would keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary but hopefully, like mine in the past, she will be fine.
