📖About Can Rabbits Eat Cinnamon?
Cinnamon is not typically recommended for rabbits. While not acutely toxic in trace amounts, it provides no nutritional benefit and the volatile oils may irritate the digestive system. Cassia cinnamon contains coumarin, which can damage the liver. There is no reason to add cinnamon to a rabbit's diet. Stick to their natural diet of hay, leafy greens, herbs, and occasional fruit treats.
