Shrubs that are non toxic?

[Baby2017]

Hey, trying to tidy up the garden and remove any dangerous plants for our new bunster. Would like to replace them with other safe shrubs but nothing with an obvious weed look.

Any ideas?
I’ve read all evergreen types are out

It depends on what you have and the size of the garden, etc. Although bulbs, evergreens and ivy are not to be fed to rabbits, most wouldn't touch them anyway. You could also fence off certain areas or plants eg using 3' or 4' puppy pen panels - both to protect the rabbits from certain plants, and to protect the plants from being chewed to bits by rabbits.

Agreed. I have a tiny garden (former concrete yard made good with building flower beds & covering in bark). 90% + is bunny safe intentionally but theres a few things like various bulbs, sedums, shrubs they don't bother with at all). I would avoid Lilys, deadly nightshade etc. Shrubs they like to munch are slim pickings but geranium grows bush like & stays green, rosemary can work, hawthorn, fruit bushes. I also agree it depends on space & budget

Don't know if there's some information in the books on the RWAF site that might help. Can recommend those by Twigs Way.

Roses are a good choice and rabbits can eat them. Obviously make sure that anything, that rabbits can get access to, hasn't been sprayed with any chemicals. Rosemary is another rabbit friendly shrub, as is Buddleia, which although OK to feed to rabbits, appears not to be liked by some.
