Hi all,

Wanting to sow some wildflower mix in an area of the garden for the bunnies and found this 'tortoise mix' on one website. Can anyone tell me if any of the following are not bunny safe? I know some are safe and tried googling others but not getting far with my limited plant knowledge :lol:

Shepherd's Purse 4%
Chicory 8%
Field Bindweed 7%
Common Catsear 2%
Nipplewort 3%
Autumn Hawkbit 2%
Rough Hawkbit 2%
Musk Mallow 4%
Common Mallow 4%
Sainfoin 8%
Ribwort Plantain 8%
Greater Plantain 4%
Hoary Plantain 4%
Hedge Mustard 5%
Corn Sowthistle 4%
Smooth Sowthistle 5%
Dandelion 6%
Red Clover 5%
White Clover 5%
Tufted Vetch 3%

I bought some wildseed off eBay that was especially for rabbits. It was just called rabbit seed mix I think. My only trouble with it was that the vetch ougrew everything else and kind of took over.

I grow this. It's from shelled warriors but it's specifically for buns.

It grows wild in our garden and is a pain in the backside! When it started to outcompete the wild violets I knew it was time to get shot!

I just grow it in big pots (balcony gardener). It takes about six weeks to grow a pot to a nice thickness and about 6 minutes for my two to destroy it. Hmmm.

Thanks for your replies

Galens Garden also do a seed mix which I'm going to test out, which seems to have a good variety

I would say, just to be safe, get a completely rabbit safe mix, intended for bunny consumption.
