My rabbit wants to play outside. Is artificial grass safe for him?

Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | neutered | 10 months and 5 days old | 6 lbs

I take my (indoor) rabbit out his cage (only in my room) to exercise but I feel like he wants to run around and play in a bigger area, but the only problem is that my backyard only has artificial grass and I'm worried about him eating it. Do you think it is safe for him to run around and exercise on it for a short period of time and under my supervision

I think it is safe for Twitch to play in your back yard on artificial grass if you are supervising. The shorter the artificial grass the less likely it is that he will be interested in chewing it. Great job getting your bunny the exercise he needs!
