Question
Is it safe to feed rabbits asparagus plants?

Answer
Hi Randy:

Yes, rabbits can safely eat asparagus and in fact, seem to find them quite delicious!
I grow them in my veggie garden just for my rabbits.  As with any new food item, introduce it in small quantities at first.  A plant can be safe, but that does not mean your rabbit(s) will tolerate it.  Some rabbits dont tolerate certain things other rabbits have no problems with.
Start out with a 1" to 2" long piece and gradually increase.  If your rabbit(s) dont have any tolerance problems, then you can feed it as often as you'd like
