How long have your rabbits been eating the tomato plants? Was it just one time or was it more long term? How did your rabbits do after they ate them? I am very interested to know! I have had people tell me certain items "cause diarrhea" that I have been feeding forever and not had a single case of diarrhea yet.. Now granted my particular tomato plants are a very sorry looking bunch and seem to have some sort of disease so I wouldn't feed them just because of that, but healthy green plants...

Wild rabbits that have a wide choice of both food and toxic plants however are a far cry from those who have to depend on what we bring them. I always follow the better safe than sorry rule.
I don't mean to be an alarmist but,his is a very bad thing. You need to get the rabbit to a vet and tell them what and how much tomato greens your rabbit ate. Tomato leave are highly toxic to your bunny!farmgirlforever":ro2j6ptv said:I have a domestic pet rabbit and my little brother fed him the stem of a little tomato and he seems very ill, hes not himself at all he hasn't been eating or drinking very much and hes been spending most of his time lying down, has anyone else ever experienced problems with your rabbits eating it???

It really seems to depend on the tomato plant and on the rabbit. As seen earlier in this thread, there are some who can feed tomato plants to their rabbits.Homer":hdcm0ppi said:I don't mean to be an alarmist but,his is a very bad thing.
