Cat's ear?

I've got some cats ear weeds growing in the garden, are they safe for the buns to eat?

It's difficult to find much information online about this plant. However, there is a warning given for horses if they have it in excess. Personally I feel that so many people will mistake it for Dandelions and feed it, so that it would have been reported if it was a problem. However, if it were me, I would not actively feed it, but would not be too concerned if the rabbits were in the garden and ate a small quantity.

We have quite a few plants of it in the garden so I'm covering them with bricks
