Hi I was out in the garden yesterday and Cultivated some wild Nettles growing in a patch in my garden. they have not been pesticided or anything else on them .
and iam curently drying them out. so i can feed them to Poppy my rabbit .
i have read in books on nettles. that it's befor seeding you can cultivate nettles and feed them to rabbits as long as the nettles are dead right ?
so that would be now right ?
as the nettles here are not in flower. or have seed heads on them. they are just green leaves. that will be hopefuly dried and dead soon in my shed as that's where they are drying out currently .
and then i will see if poppy eats them when i offer them to her.
what i want to know is how many weeks befor you can feed to rabbits? is it 4 weeks or 2 weeks i don't want them to mould ?
it's just iam not sure of how long you would dry out nettles for . :wink:
i know it's a daft question but that's what i am doing .
