Do your bunnies like to hop in the box for "self service"? or have you managed to find a way to keep them out?:lol:

Yes, all from my back garden :thumb: I have a mini plastic greenhouse that faces the sun all day so I lined some tea trays with kitchen roll, put a layer of forage on each and turned every 2 days for a week. The brambles I actually tied together in bunches and hung from the washing line but put them in the greenhouse to finish off as we had rain :( as long as you don't put too much on top of each other it goes crispy and sweet smelling quite quick but I left it for an extra day or 2 to be safe :)

Thanks :D haha the box is out of the way for the moment, the buns are getting fresh stuff... I need to get a lot more dried before they can nom, I want enough for all 12 to have a tasty supply in winter :lol: already have more dandelions and plantain coming up though, and the brambles have sprouted loads of new shoots so they shall be snipped tomo :D

we dry ours on the back parcel shelf of the car, in this heat thorugh the back window, it goes crispy quickly and gets the perfect amoun of air (car smells very strongly of pungent plants for 2-3 days though :oops::D
