Should a rabbit eat gGrass mats?

[Susan Helgeson]

I bought Arnold (two-year old dwarf Dutch bunny) a "grass" doormat. I
put it under a high chest and he loves to sit there a chew on it. Then
it occurred to me that items like that might be sprayed with something
that couldn't be good it he ate it? Does any one have any opinions
about rabbits eating grass doormats?

I don't know how much he's actually eaten. Mostly, he enjoys making a
mess (handily hidden under the chest).

Thanks

My bunnies have been nibbling on (and digging - great for saving
carpets) these for years with no ill affects. While doing some
reserach, I found that they are treated with a gaseous substance at a
very high temp. to kill off any bugs, but the gases are gone when
exposed to oxygen and room temperature, so they should be quite safe.

Thanks. I'm relieved since Arnold has just about demolished his first
grass doormat.
