Thanks. I was hoping the top tree was hawthorn. I wanted to feed it to Doughnut instead of the bramble leaves. Oh well, will keep looking for bramble bushes or hawthorn near me!

Hawthorn has leaves before flowers and Blackthorn has flowers before the leaves. :wave:

Thanks all, I misread the post.

My friend normally supplies me with bramble leaves as I have none nearby, but she's now left my work so will replace them with hawthorn since they're good for digestion too. Will cut a few branches off for Doughnut and take the flowers off.

Haha, so they do! I have never given my two nettles, I know they are good for bunnies but I am too scared to pick them!

Me neither. I love her dearly but she's pampered enough and don't want to get stung. I know she doesn't like purple dead nettle so she probably wouldn't like it anyway.
