    Weed identification please?

    Hi, my son and his wife have a garden down in Exeter and part of it will be left wild for their 2 rabbits to run about in. Can anyone tell us what the attached plant image is? We are thinking it may be ragwort which he thinks may be poisonous to rabbits but we'd like some advice from some seasoned gardeners before they are allowed to roam.

    Many thanks

    The image is too small for me to see - sorry. I've tried saving it and enlarging but it doesn't make much difference.
    All I would say is, if he thinks its ragwort, pull it out before it flowers and spreads.

      Can't see the picture properly. Doesn't look like ragwort though.

          It does look a bit like ragwort from what I can see so yes, haul it out and dispose of it!

            I'd pull it out to be on the safe side but would they eat it?
            I have loads of rhubarb in the garden, the chickens seem to eat around it. Wild rabbits do the same

              Looks like ragwort to me too. Crinkly edged leaves in a rosette.

              Endless wonder.

                  I would say it was ragwort but picture too blurry to be positive.

                    Thank you everyone, sorry the image was small, it didn't seem to want to upload at a larger size, I'm probably doing something wrong…..! Anyway yes the large ragwort photo looks the same so I shall pass on the info. I expect they will did it up rather than risk the bunnies though as Scarlet says you might think bunnies have a natural ability to know what's good to eat and what's not. Thanks!
