Just a small part of the willow we have !!!! This only shows about a hundredth of the branches and large bits - mostly just the small bits show up on the photo

Today we have had very large weeping willow very heavily 'pruned' (taking about 20 foot off it!).

We have a whole garden full of twigs with young leaves and buds on, thick sticks, branches and even bits of trunk - all of these very very edible and nommy for rabbits.

Anyone is very welcome to contact me and drive up and stuff their car full - and thus not only make themselves a favourite withtheir buns but also save themselves loads of money on willow treats etc


Rescues are very very welcome to take as much as they want - hire a van and come!he leaves and buds will stay fine for a week or so, or can be dried slowly outdoors or in a garage (with no fumes) or room or shed or polytunnel;

the sticks and branches etc can just be kept as they are for months on end . The ones you buy in shops have probably been cut descues are very very welcome to take as much as they want - hire a van and come!

Sorry I cannot send stuff at present , I am rushed off my feet with work and trying to get the new house in order, and have lots of builders/plumbers/septic tank men/oil men/ etc etc to organise, and have also taken on a special needs bun and am hand raising a hare and one of our oldies has just 'lost' her back legs . . . . I literally have no time to package stuff up and go to post office.

Anyone thinking of coming just PM me and I will give you my mobile no. and address. We are now about 8 miles south west of Peterborough, just off A1, on Northants/Cambs border.

PLEASE come and take some!!!!!!

PS branches and trunk parts also ideal for environmental enrichment - just leave them in runs etc

Oh nooooo, if only I could drive!
I'm in south Cambs and my lot love tree branches to munch on and climb over.
 
If anyone is going and then in turn doesn't mind packaging me up some and sending it me, I'll obviously pay, then I'm very interested! :wave:
 
I'd like some but I'm not sure when/if I can get up. I'll work on it and get back to you.
 
I would also be interested if someone closer would be going and could pick some up for me and kindly send it to me.... :)

I would be paying!!! please.... :lol:

Damn why do I live so far away!!

Without being cheeky, me too, i'd be willing to pay as well, if anyone is able to do that. :oops::wave:
 
What a lovely gesture. Sadly like lots of other folks I am too far away to take you up on your kind offer, someone is going to have very lucky bunnies:D
 
Can I cross post this over on the Pledge a Pound forum, just in case anyone doesn't come on here?
 
If anyone can send me some it would be great. Mine love willow and it dries lovely. :thumb:
 
OK - so I am wondering if we can get something larger organised here - my problem is lack of any TIME!!! I am run off feet at present with everything going on - I had originally planned to sell the willow to people and raise money for a bun we have taken in for specialist treatment - BUT I do not have time to cut, weigh, package, send, and do all the co-ordination of addresses/payments etc

I hardly have enough time to do my own work at present (in fact I dont . . I am very behind - which is a disaster if you are self employed).

However I DO have a tree load of willow twigs and branches etc.

surely we can get something going???
 
If something can be organised then I will obviously pay p&p and any other costs to the person who can send me some and I am also mre than happy to donate something to you twigs for the bunny in need.
Afterall you did the hard work of cutting it all down :)

shall be keeping an eye on this thread..
