Sage and Bay leaves (inc stalks/sticks)??? :wave:

Had a look around the farmers market after work

Last month i got a little hand made bunny, this week i got 2 bunches of fresh herbs for £1!!!! :shock:

They also had potted herbs all sorts of branches from the allotment association, eeeee I get so excited over things like that

:shock: Why cant they have bay leaves? *runs and takes the the stalk out of the pen*

ETA: Theyve only had it in there for 5 minutes and only nibbled the leaf a little.

Sorry for delayed response, time zones etc coming into play.
I've spotted bay or laurel as it is otherwise known as, many times on 'do not feed to rabbits' lists.

Here is the first link I found (it's listed as laurel) -

Obviously its not referenced & doesn't say how toxic it is.
As your buns only had a nibble I'd probably just phone a vet for advice & observe the buns rather than get into a full blown panic.
Hope all is AOK!

All I know is that bay leaves, even for humans, in a large amount is toxic. No more than 2/3 leaves in cooking. :wave:

umm, have you read the above? Not sure if you knew? I certainly didnt! :?

After reading this thread I Googled and there is differing advice on different sites!
Also, apparently, Bay leaves being poisonous to humans is a myth!

I agree there is differing advice with some info sources listing Bay & others not.
Have always decided to err on the side of caution re the buns & Bay leaves & just save them for us instead.
