Ah that's great thanks gunna see what Atticus and Clementine think of them [emoji7]I've used them for years with no problems. Just make sure they look green and fresh because they aren't always. Also if you put them in water they sometimes get crispier. I get mine from Sainsbury's.
Thanks, I'm so worried I'm gunna poison the buns all the time [emoji38][emoji38]Yes, they're fine :thumb:
Googled said yes, but just wanna be sure [emoji38]

Ah that's interesting, I wonder if I over do kale...Absolutely!
Many people use them as a bunny staple and certainly I do particularly in the winter when there's not so much variety of foraging.
Ah that's interesting, I wonder if I over do kale...
My staple bunny veg is kale, mixed bag of rocket, watercress and spinach, and tenderstem broccoli - and herbs from garden
The amount of kale is quite high though not sure if it's rich in something bad? Got a feeling it is, maybe I'll feed less kale and switch for more of this.

Ah that's interesting!Kale has a lot of calcium in it, as watercress does too.
However, Harcourt Brown says none of that matters, as there's much more calcium in pellets than veggies:

Kale sometimes has a bad reputation for rabbits because of its calcium content (approximately 1.3%). However it is 85% water, which means that a rabbit can eat a lot of it without eating a lot of calcium. This picture shows 265g kale, which is the amount that would provide 500mg. It is more than most rabbits would eat in a day. A typical bag of kale from the supermarket contains 200g. A big bag contains 400g.
Ah that's interesting!
Yea I buy the big leaves of kale, not the chopped up stuff, I probably feed 3 big leaves a day maybe 2 depends on sizes obviously, and that's between two buns, a handful of the mixed stuff, 4 tenderstems? And just some herbs - maybe that isn't too much? Idk they all seem to love it and eat it all [emoji38] and I've not had any issues yet...

Oo Idk.. I think kale and broccoli are supposed to cause gas too.. But not had any issues that I know of here - hopefully someone else will knowI have never given spring greens as thought can cause gas?
I would like to though if it's safe?

I would suspect all brassicas to cause gas, but in differing risk-values We've only ever had a problem with Lopsy and sprouts though!I find these cause the most gas .. Brussels sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower
I have never known greens to cause gas. Or kale for that matter
