Hello!

We ahd the willow trees at work trimmed and I grabbed the branches for the bunnies.

Just wondering if its okay for them to eat the leaves and small branches or not?

Ive only got the trunk type twigs about 1/2 to an inch thick.

AFAIK its best to leave the twigs and branches to 'cure' (dry out) for about a month before giving them to a Bun.

I dont think I'd feed them the leaves Hmmm only cos I am not 100% certain about them Hmmm I suspect, like the twigs and branches, the leaves would be OK once dried out. Hopefully someone else can confirm this.

I'm not sure I'm afraid. I've only ever heard about fruit tree branches being given to buns, never willow.

Sorry!

Not sure about the leaves, but don't they make lots of bunny chewy things from willow branches?
