I think that keletkezes said hers will eat it at certain times of the year
Long walk today. Intentionally visited the hawthorn thats always ahead of the game - its just starting to leaf. I found what I think was Cow Parsley because I think I also found Hemlock & the stems were very different. So small amounts of hawthorn twigs, hazel twigs, grass, herb robert, dandelions, dock & geranium.
I offered mouse a hazel twig (which she rudely ragged out of my hand) while i sorted her a 'small amount of everything' to give her at the same time. I like seeing their current favourites! Well the hazel was dropped instantly so she could get the CP & then the hawthorn twig came next
I got a new one today, very exciting! Went out to gather miserable brambles, cow parsley, stickyweed and grass (discovered some lovely grass in the play park!) and found some very baby ground elder leaves! Not many, but it's coming
It's a pest in the garden, but the bunnies have always loved it. The grass is really good now isn't it.
Tell me about it, I think this year will be the first year I'm glad of it now I have a purpose!! Did you know people can eat it too though? Makes a good soup.
That's interesting as I have always wondered about whether we can eat grass, it always smells delicious.so can we eat it raw?
Wow, so you've fed Cow Parsley? It's always been a strong favourite with all the bunnies I've had here.
I reckon she means the ground elder
Just to Mouse so far (J&B's initial handful didn't contain CP as Bob fed it to them & I want to waych Joey's reaction- in fact I'll do that now) but it was her clear favourite - even over dandelions. I forgot to add I picked some Buddleia - just because. When I went upstairs I could see where J&B had been fed as it was marked by 4 abandonned buddleia pieces. Clever bunnies - it must be nasty
Joey's reaction to Cow Parsley should be documented here please
He didn't hesitate, said it was delicious. Boobly really, really liked it. All bunnies are alive this morning. Good find Omi - thank you for encouraging me to give it a go
I'm pleased you persevered with it. It's always been sniffed out first in any mix I've fed here with different bunnies. Also it's available most of the year in one form or other and I haven't noticed any decrease in enthusiasm with plants at different stages. So that you can harvest it early and late in the year I suggest you keep a mental not of where the plants are. I'm not sure how well it would dry. Possibly would do OK with mature stems with flowers.
Cow Parsley has the triangular stems, hemlock round stems? I don't want to get this wrong :shock:
