| I just moved into Las Vegas from Houston and there are a few plants in my backyard that my bunny is fond of munching on. I presume the middle plant is dandelion, but I don't know the top weed or bottom bush with red berries. I'd appreciate any help IDing these to make sure the rabbit isn't getting herself into trouble! Thanks! |

| Do you mean the first is Lactuca and the second is sonchus? I'm just looking at their pictures in wikipedia (I'm not a gardener by any stretch of the imagination) |

| The rabbit will love 1 & 2. |

| Cool, it seemed those were ok for her to eat! As for the third one, I'll make sure she avoids it...though it will take a little work as she seems to like eating the dried leaves! |

| You could eat 1 & 2 yourself if you were hungry. I've eaten young Sonchus leaves in salad but they do get a bit prickly. |
