Answer
Hello, duhaa
Its good that you did not take your rabbits to the vet!

I will not advise you to feed rabbits onions and poatoes. These are foods that contains Poison.their are many plants and foods thats Poison for rabbits but I just gave you A few.
Plants found to be Poisonous to Rabbits:
Onions
Buttercups
Bluebells
Bittersweet
Bryony
Potatoes
Green Potatoes
Tulips

Eating poisonous plants can affect your pet in a number of ways.
They range from stomach upset to death.
Symptoms include: salivation, skin allergy and heart and
breathing trouble, as guinea pigs cannot vomit, the plants that
give this symptom will probably go unnoticed until it is too
late. They may undergo physiological stress after ingesting those
which irritate the digestive tract.
Accidental ingestion of poison or poisonous
plant, eating toxic food or garbage, improper medication
administration.

Hope you the best!
