Also called: parsely

AnimalVerdictShort answer
RabbitsSafeYes, as part of a varied mix of greens. The Royal Veterinary College and the RSPCA both list parsley as suitable for rabbits.
Guinea pigsCautionYes, but do not overfeed it. Parsley is high in calcium; rotate it with other vegetables rather than giving lots.
