Need help identifying a weed

14 years ago

I am hoping someone can help me identify this weed. It grows in shade or sun, is usually low-growing but can reach six inches. I think it has tiny white flowers but I am not positive. Would love to know if I can add it to my rabbit and guinea pig friendly list of safe weeds for them to eat. It has grown very well this year, in part because of the plentiful rainfall we have had.
