Tree branches/twigs

Bitzy · May 4, 2010

Hiya

Sorry for all the questions but I just want to make sure I'm looking after Mitzy as best I can.

I've read that its ok to put some tree branches in with bunnies for them to play with, chew on etc.

Are there any tree branches that aren't safe for bunnies??

Also, do I have to disinfect them before I give them to her?? (I know with birds you have to do this but wasn't sure about bunnies).

Thanks

Do a search for other threads on this subjet :wave:

I give apple twigs/branches from my garden so I know no pesticides so I don't wash them or anything.

I understand Pear tree's are ok but not any "stoned" fruit ie plums, nectarines.
