willow sticks..advice on the 'pods' please

I ordered some fresh willow and apple sticks on ebay from a rescue...OMG I've never seen 'real' ones :lol:...so my question is can buns eat the 'furry' little pod things that are attached to the branches?? Can't wait to give them them

i dont see why not my lot love my mums willow tree dried or fresh, leaves as well, makes they poops huge and golden too, well does with my lot,

if your unsure just cut them off
