📖About Can Rabbits Eat Green Beans?
Green beans (string beans) are safe for rabbits in small amounts. They provide vitamins and fiber. However, like other legumes, green beans can cause gas in rabbits, and gas is potentially dangerous because rabbits cannot easily pass it. Gas can lead to painful bloating and GI stasis. Introduce green beans very gradually and in small amounts. If your rabbit shows signs of discomfort, discontinue. The leaves and plants of green bean vines are also safe.
