Question
Can my dwarf rabbit eat sage or knaw on bamboo sticks?

Answer
Sage is ok for rabbits.  Bamboo is listed on some sites as unsafe for rabbits.  I don't what specifically is in the bamboo that is bad for them, though.

Some sites with info on rabbit safe veges are:

Expertise

I have 10 years experience in owning house rabbits. I volunteered 9 1/2 years at a local shelter and worked with the rabbits. I can answer generic questions regarding behavior, diet, caging, toys, bunny proofing, and health. My area of expertise is house rabbits. I have no knowledge about food rabbits, wild rabbits or breeding. I'm not in the veterinary profession and there are some questions that should be asked of your vet first. Please do not wait for me to answer you if you thing there is a health problem Please take your rabbit to a vet. If I do not know the answer, I will do my best to lookup information about your problem, but I may still recommend you take your rabbit to a vet, or ask another expert. Recommended rabbit references are rabbit.org, the House Rabbit Handbook, Language of Lagomorphs, and Charky and Ash's Rabbit References.
