Here are two dandelion look-a-likes. Or maybe they are that, I don't know. I sometimes feed it anyway and no issues. Ideas?

Weird group of plants, I believe they get larger and taller. CHENOPODIUM ALBUM, possibly?

These are tiny and are long little plants, you can see the tiny flecks of flowers on them.

Wild Strawberry?

These three pics show a plant that gets real tall. Conyza canadensis??

I call these Clovers and feed to both rabbits and GPs w/no issues. But I've read they are called something else, I forget. Ideas?

This one I think someone else has shown. 2nd pic you can see the small, white flower.

#4 does look like wild strawberry! When it flowers it will be easier to tell. They are the most delicious teensy weensy strawberries! :D
 
Wild strawberry is fine for rabbits as food and as medicine for diarrhea. But wait until the blossoms appear. There is a strawberry look-alike that has yellow blossoms... Don't recall its name but don't feed that one without researching it.

I'd feed #1 with no hesitation. It looks like chicory to me. If it bears a sky blue flower later on, that will confirm it.

#2 is indeed CHENOPODIUM ALBUM - lamb's quarters. It is fine for rabbits when young. Once it sets seed, I stop feeding it.

That would be mock strawberry, Potentilla indica. It is actually just as safe -- leaves, stems, flowers, and berries. The "strawberries" it produces are flavorless, but you wouldn't know that to watch our rabbits chow the stuff down!
 
pic 2 looks like what around here gets called jewelweed. heard that if you mash it up and rub it into your skin it will break down the oils from poison ivy and will help wash it off to not get it in the first place or to help clean it out and get rid of it once you have it... but thats all i know of it. not the latin name or nothin. sorry. hope i helped some though.

but thanks for remindin me to get some pics of plants i been eyeing to look up to maybe feed the rabbits :D
 
Ok my guesses
1. I'm almost positive it's Musk Thissle (if it flower purplish pink you know for sure, and the "greens" will be pokey and sharp)
2. no idea
3.looks like some type of clover to me
4. looks like poison ivy, but I may be wrong
5.&6. Not sure
7. Is bind weed

Bind weed and Musk thisle are required by law to be sprayed here in kansas, the county can come spray, if you don't, and charge you for the service. They are considered noxious weeds.
