Dandelions..

I'd be surprised if they weren't hoovered up in seconds:lol:

I've tried growing them, but to no avail:( All my buns, and especially my tortoise love them)
 
any new food should be introduced cautiously, just a tiny bit then slowly give them more over a couple of weeks - but yes they ADORE them - the sure way to get a poorly bun eating again as they are irrestistable.

very high in calcium though, which some bunnies might struggle with, and they will make your bunnies wee gallons of red wee :shock: so don't panic :D

my garden is a sea of yellow flowers at the mo :oops: the front garden :oops: must cut it all down tomorrow I guess, as the grass is a foot high :oops: they like poor soil, and my garden looks like a wasteland so they feel right at home :rolleyes:
 
What do you do if you have a dog that may wee on the grass, do you still give your buns the dandelions? :?
 
I've got some massive ones in my garden at the moment - all the rain we've had has produced some monster size ones - at least three times their normal size.

Bell and T have been having a couple a day for the last week and they're loving them - along with strawberry leaves because my garden is a carpet of strawberry leaves :oops:

I dug up a couple of plants and moved them to a pot. They looked a bit wilted for a while but have sprung to life now. That reminds me I have to go wip the flowers off before they seed everywhere. I think dandelions are kinda pretty but my mum isn't keen :lol:
 
There are sooo many this year, and they are massive! Bertie's just in Dandy Heaven! and Jack, Drake & Josh's coat will probably feel really soft after a few days on the Dandelions :)
 
They are great for our liver i think also.. :D

There was a programme (think it was Countryfile) where this woman made soup, coffee etc out of dandelions... Apparently they taste lovely...
There is somewhere who grows them especially for the alternative market...
I wouldnt want to try mine though...:?:lol:
