Can my bunny eat these flowers?

[Farm_Lover_With_Bunnies]

Hello fellow bunny lovers!
my little bun is turning 3 this Friday so I am making her some extra goodies and was wondering if a cranberry hibiscus and roses are safe for her to eat and if the whole thing is edible or just the petals?
Thanks!

They should both be safe but remember that any new foods should be offered in tiny quantities so as not to upset their digestion.

"This rose is a very useful addition to any edible garden or in a fodder forage hedgerow. Sheep, goats and cattle love this sweet-smelling plant and will happily ‘contain’ it for you. " Again ruminants. For humans, only the petals and fruit are edible. The rose hips are very rich in vitamin C.

hibiscus and rose are safe for rabbits.

Hi, is she 3 years or 3 months?

Not only is rose safe, it's really easy to digest and good to have when the rabbit for whatever reason doesn't eat much.
I feed the flowers from my garden as treats when they start to wilt, it can take some time and tries the first times since rabbits normally don't dig into new stuff, but take a test nibble and wait if it has any adverse effects, some more the next day and so on.
If not used to greens start slowly anyway.

No store bought flowers though, they can be loaded with chemicals and pesticides.
