Rose branches with thorns - safe for rabbits to eat?

Omi said:

I actually leave thorns. They seem to cope with thorns on Roses, Brambles and Hawthorn and I've never seen any signs of wounds to their mouths or feet.

Hello, I've just pruned some branches off our rose bush. It's in our garden and never been treated, as in no pesticides or chemicals of any sort.

Can I give the branches to my rabbits to chew on including the thorns?

Please let me know if you feed rose branches to your buns and how they get on with the thorns.

Thanks

Absolutely you can

I always find it amazing that the tiniest spur can cause a mouth problem, but mouthfuls of thorny roses and brambles don't seem to! :roll:

Mine think the best part is chewing the thorns off! Makes for painful realisations if I kneel in their run around rose pruning time though :lol:
