If you know that the rabbit is eating the leaves off of your bushes then why don't you move your rabbit somewhere else?My rabbit is eating leaves off of some young bushes in our backyard.?
You'll have to watch the little stinker to make sure it doesn't destroy the plants. Though a few leaves from (safe, please! No poisonous leaves!) plants will hurt neither Bunny nor the plants, a lot will be murder for the plants and possibly not great for Bun.
Rabbits can be super-destructive. You can try fencing (to keep Bun away from individual plants or keep it contained in a smaller area.)
And if you're in a Lyme disease area (bigger every freakin' year), be sure Bun-Bun doesn't snag any deer ticks. Rabbits help spread Lyme disease (they incubate it, though they don't get the disease. Just humans.)
I love rabbits. Our pet rabbit killed all my zinnia plants that I grew from seed. He ate all the leaves, the only thing left was a little stalk coming out of the pots. Plants need leaves for photosynthesis. If he eats so many leaves that the plant can't go through photosynthesis to grow, it will kill the plant. If there are plenty of leaves on the plant, it should be fine.

If the rabbit eats all the leaves your plants are goners.
