Rabbits have a notorious reputation for nibbling on greens, but do they fancy pepper plants? Stay tuned as we dive into all the details that will help you outsmart these fluffy intruders!
Yes, rabbits can eat pepper plants, but their preference varies based on the type and variety of the plant.
While rabbits may eat some pepper plants, particularly the sweet and mild varieties, they generally avoid spicy peppers due to their taste and chemical makeup.
In the pepper family, they might be attracted to the fruits of some plants, like tomatoes and eggplants. Understanding these preferences can help manage rabbit activity in gardens and help choose plants that are less likely to be damaged by these animals.
Rare, but possible. If rabbits can’t find their usual diet, they may start eating plants they would otherwise avoid, such as peppers.
Rabbits generally do not eat cooked foods. This includes boiled peppers, as they naturally prefer raw vegetables.

While heather cultivars can still be found at many garden centers and online nurseries, you may wish to avoid planting them. This species has been reported as invasive in the Northeast and parts of the Midwest. While it may not appear to spread around one’s garden, in wild areas, especially alpine, high-elevation, and coastal areas, heather has been documented as impacting the displacement of some native plants.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden was one of the key reasons I wanted to visit Cape Town. I’d long heard of the famous gardens, and their importance to horticulture worldwide, so the chance to explore them for real was a dream come true.
