Will a bunny eat something that is toxic to himself?

[Tweetiepy]

I have a garden - or rather a plot of soil with weeds growing and a thyme & mint plant thrown in. I also have a strawberry plant and chives. Peaches digs in there and has been chinning the strawberry plant like crazy but doesn't approach the chives (which I read are toxic)

Now there are some weeds growing in my lawn and he's been eating some of those but I was wondering if he'd eat something that was toxic to him - I know he'd eat something that would give him gas or was too sweet but would he eat toxic stuff?

We also have a groundhog living under our shed and I've seen the path he walks, could he harm my bunny? (Peaches is never out alone) but Peaches has been sniffing/chinning like crazy where I think the hog has been.

I don't think chives are 'toxic', they're just on the 'not advised' list.

Rabbits can actually handle a lot of plants, and if they have a wide choice, they should be fine.

There are lists with just the really bad plants, hopefully somebody can direct you to one. I'd make sure you don't have any of those around, but otherwise I wouldn't worry.

Here is one of the better definitively-toxic lists:
