Can they eat heather?

Hello!

I've been asked to help my mother-in-law create a low maintenance flower bed.

She has a rabbit that often free ranges and would like as low maintenance as possible and preferably evergreen.

She has a few rocks lying around her garden and I thought planting Heather between them would be pretty - can anyone tell me if this is rabbit safe please?

There's a very good article here by Frances Harcourt Brown, about the problem with lists of plant toxicity. She said that as a specialist rabbit vet she had never seen a case of plant toxicity:
