lamb's tongue
I'm pleased to say that the current generation of rabbits here prefers
Plantain, also called Lamb's Tongue (Plantago lanceolata and P. major) as it's all day every day go-to meal.
Yep. When we had a pet rabbit, Plantain was his/her favorite food.

What are the traditional medicinal and herbal uses of plantain weed?

Historically known as "white man's footprint" among Native Americans because it spread wherever European settlers traveled, plantain weed (Plantago major and Plantago lanceolata) is one of the most widely used wild medicinal plants in traditional European, Asian, and Native American folk medicine.

The plant contains active compounds including aucubin (an iridoid glycoside with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties), allantoin (which promotes cell regeneration and skin repair), and tannins (which act as natural astringents).
