Strawflower and Caraway?

~ILoveMyBunny~

Hey :wave:
Sorry to bother you all, just a quick question - is strawflower safe for bunnies? What about caraway? I'm getting an order ready on zooplus and I'd like to buy these: http://t.zooplus.co.uk/shop/small_pets/snacks_supplements/natural_plant_snacks/herbs/465819
But I wasn't sure about the caraway or strawflower.
Last time I bought the dandelion and ribwort but I wanted to get a bit more this time in terms of variety :p

Thanks :D

Edit: corrected 'ragwort' to 'ribwort' - Thanks Omi for bringing that to my attention! :oops:

Sorry I meant to come back to this. I've researched both online, but can only find references to Caraway, which is listed as safe on more than one site. Strawflower is listed on some gardening sites as being a plant that wild rabbits don't touch, but one of those sites also listed Yarrow, which rabbits certainly do eat.

So, Caraway I think is definitely OK, but Strawflower not sure.

Btw I'm not sure I would feed Ragwort :? There's a lot of debate about Ragwort, but I personally wouldn't take the chance and I'm surprised if a commercial feed company were including it.
 
Thank you so much, Omi (And Daphnephoebe for the bump)
Thank you so much for looking that up. I found one mention of caraway but nothing about strawflower. I think I'll be cautious and just leave it out. Would just have been nice to have some more variety for them.

Also, I'm an idiot. Goodness knows how I typed ragwort! I meant ribwort!
What an idiot *slaps self*
I know ragwort's dangerous too (one of the few plants I do know!) so goodness knows how I did that.
Ribwort is okay isn't it? I thought it was another name for plantain?

Have to say I'm relieved :D Yes, Ribwort Plantain is clearly what they mean and that's fine.
