Forgive me if this is in the wrong section but it just didn't seem to fit anywhere else!
I'm thinking of getting some decorative bark for my borders later on this year, once we've sorted the garden out. Does anyone know if it is toxic to rabbits as obviously it will come from lots of different trees, or will they naturally avoid it anyway? I do try and keep them off my borders anyway as I have flowers in there that I rather like and weren't bought/planted for rabbit food ... but my rabbits are rather dense :roll: so I was just checking. They wouldn't be able to chew much of it as they're under constant supervision whilst free-ranging BUT if/when my back is turned ... Although on saying "toxic" they have eaten enough of my definitely dangerous plants over the last almost 2 years and have had no ill effects - a bite here, a flower/stalk there - but bark is different as I wasn't sure if it could block bowels? I dunno. There's the question anyway; can I have decorative garden bark in my borders or not? Thanks! :wave:
