Hi,
Well Ive done the research and accept that amongst many leaves *Oak* leaves seems to be toxic to buns.
Sadly our Hector, loves them! Since they have been falling, he seems to get in every and any corner to munch away along with the stalks.
We let the buns have free range of the garden when we are in. It would be a mammoth job to clear the leaves, the tree is about 40ft high with a massive canopy and directly over our garden, we have drifts of them.....but we do endeavour to keep on top of things. when the acorns start to fall its squirrel heaven.....
Has anyone experienced this before? We have only had our resuce buns since mid summer, and upto now they have been absolute little treasures with healthy appetites, very active, and getting to trust us beautifully.....now this.....
Should we remove the bunnies completely from the garden? keep them in their metal 8x6 meatal with all their bunny comforts including hutch, broody cop, hideaway, blankets etc.........
Will he recover? At the moment he seems to be a little lethargic, and not so keen on his food. As for his wife, Gracie, its business as usual. Hector eats mosts of the garden plants, and has also munched away at the remaining poppy leaves which are also on the toxic list.
What do we do..........Will be getting him checked over at the vets tomorrow.......
Hope someone can advise, Sharron
