Pine cones

Am I supposed to do something to these before I give them to Trip and Scar? :oops: I usually just buy them, but my sister has them falling of a tree in her garden apparently so she is bringing me round a bag of them :thumb:

I feel like I have read somewhere that if your getting them yourself you need to do something to them before they are ok for bunnies to play with, but I can't remember what and I can't find anything about it now :?
 
Hmm...never thought of giving bunnies pine cones. Guineas seem to love them though, they make a beeline for them when one lands in their run!
 
I usually collect a batch, boil them in case they're contaminated by something, then dry them out in the oven so they don't get mouldy.

I don't know if that's OTT but it certainly doesn't seem to do them any harm.
 
I've always given mine their pine cones as they come - straight from the tree. Has never done them any harm so far :D
