Answer 2

There isn't much information about pet rabbits eating sweetgum (meaning, the Liquidambar plant/tree, also known as gum, redgum, satin-walnut, and American storax).

Many people would say "better safe than sorry" - meaning, only give plants to your rabbit that are widely recommended, and don't give any plants you aren't sure about (like sweetgum).

Generally speaking, twigs and leaves are good for rabbits, but there are many kinds of plants (including twigs and leaves) that are dangerous for them to eat, so you always have to be careful. That said, sweetgum is not known to be poisonous for rabbits (see the link below for a long list of poisonous plants).

Wild rabbits do eat young sweetgum saplings, and sweetgum leaves, which might suggest they're safe for pet bunnies too - but, pet bunnies and wild bunnies are often different species, so this isn't a sure thing.

Do not give your rabbit sweetgum seeds (the spiny pods). Even if the spines don't hurt the rabbit (which they might), seeds are high in protein and not healthy for rabbits. Rabbits get enough protein from their pellets, so they don't need any more from seeds.

If you do decide to give your rabbit sweetgum seeds or twigs (or any plant you aren't sure is safe), be careful! This means starting with just one bite, and waiting a few days to see what happens. Watch for signs of illness, and be prepared to bring your rabbit to a vet. If the rabbit does get sick, don't feed it any more sweetgum! But, if the rabbit is fine, then you can try again - this time with two or three bites. Again, watch for a few days before giving the rabbit any more.

Answer 3

Yes, but very limited amounts. 1/4 teaspoon every couple of days. They love the molasses and is one of the best ways to get a rabbit that is off of it's feed to start eating again. (mixing sweet feed with their regular diet) And I do mean mixing, not serving on top.

Answer 4

This question is about the weed called goosegrass, aka cleavers, Galium aparine, sticky willy, etc.

There is not a lot of information available online about pet rabbits and goosegrass.

According to the book Rabbit Nutrition by Virginia Richardson (and the Related Link below), "all parts of the [goosegrass] plant can be fed" to your pet rabbit.

Any wild or garden plants you give your rabbit should be clean and free of pollution, pesticides, and other chemicals. Make sure to give your rabbit a healthy balanced diet overall. See the related questions below for more info and helpful links.
