willow balls

This is probably bunny 101 but I'm going to ask anyway:

A lot of you have talked about willow balls so I know they are safe for bunnies. I haven't been able to find any (Go Canada ) But last night I saw so I bought one to see how they like it. Well like is not the word... Brynn hasn't stopped eating it this morning (is it made of candy? ).

My question is: is it safe for them to actually ingest (and not just a little bit, but the whole thing)...

Well, they love it don't they.
I find it way too expensive to have them eat it in one day, better look for some trees where you can take branches

Totally safe for them to eat and absolutely brilliant for their teeth too. You can get all sorts of things made out of willow and also just willow sticks for them too.

daisy eats his and digests it too..... doesnt seem to have slowed down his poo making machine any! He loves it!

Mine had a willow ball and it disappeared in a couple of days! They also adore apple wood and eat huge amounts of it.

Willow balls make great toys..
but one little warning..we had two separate occasions where bunnies had the large willow balls, chewed part of them so they opened up a bit, then got stuck in them..legs and head through parts of the toy..so with the larger ones do supervise

I bought a whole set of willow tubes lately - The bunnies love them.

I got them 3-4 days ago and Vivi has a teeny spot of it left..

The other buns at least have a tube shaped thing left...

Silly Viv

I hope you all appreciate that I have held back from adding the obvious comment about willow balls ya know!

I don't know what you are talking about

Aye you do, but are being too polite.

Willow balls would be handy, cos then you would hear them coming!

I learned this tonight



(don't worry, she was only stuck for a few seconds before I helped her out!

good job you were there..the first time it happened here..which was about 3 years ago..the poor bunny looked as if someone had tried to tie her up with it
Glad your rabbits enjoy them..and they are very cute by the way

Hippo is so cute with his 'dirty' nose Brynn the bondage bun.

Yup, Rosie once had a willow ball and it disappeared in record time!

willow balls mine get them as a treat every so often as i have to buy 2 or they have a little tiff.

If we ever have anything nice, I have to do two because Gloria is such a rotter. She leans down, nicks it and runs. Wolfie chases after her. It is hilarious. I was really naughty when my sister was over and put in half an apple so she could see them tussle. It is really comic because the apple it too big for her to hold for long when she is running and she is just looking for somewhere to stop and eat it all without Wolfie and he is there not letting her settle down to eat without him!
