harvesting nettles

Squizz

There are a lot of stinging nettles near our house which I thought I should harvest for the buns. This may be a silly question, but are you supposed to dry the nettles out before feeding them to rabbits?
 
Don't know about drying them out or not, but I'd be very reluctant to pick them from anywhere outside your garden. I never pick dandelions etc. from public areas as you can't be sure no chemicals have been used on them, dogs peeing on them etc.
 
You can give them fresh or dried. Pick them before they flower and you do need to be sure that they've not been sprayed. If you pick them from woods rather than a roadside they should be ok.:D
