Yes — safe in moderation
Yes — parsley is a rabbit favourite and a great regular green. Like spinach it’s higher in oxalates, so rotate it rather than serving it every single day.
Fresh parsley (flat or curly) is nutritious, aromatic and universally beloved by rabbits — it’s often the first herb recommended for hand-feeding and bonding. It provides vitamins A, C and K plus folate. Its only flag is moderately high oxalate content, so the rotation rule applies: parsley 2–3 times a week, alternating with low-oxalate greens like romaine, coriander and basil. Both leaves and stems are edible.
A few sprigs (stems included) per serving, 2–3 times weekly, as part of the daily mixed-greens cup per kg of body weight. Introduce gradually if new. Rabbits with known bladder sludge/stones should get low-oxalate herbs instead.
Coriander, basil, dill and mint complete the herb rotation; carrot tops too.
