hello, I put up this post yesterday, but no-one replied so not sure if I posted it right, or if no-one knew the answer???

Could anyone tell me if walnut branches are ok to give to the rabbits, so they can peel the bark off?? I know they love apple trees and pear trees but not sure if a walnut tree may be bad for them?? I left the branches in the utility room last night as darent put them in for my buns until I know for sure! Please reply!!
 
to be honest i saw this yesterday but have no idea, i will try to find out for you today, see what info i can find on the net.

Not sure really. There may be some good info about that kind of things in books or on the net. But if you can’t find the info then I wouldn’t give your buns any. However if you want to risk it you could try a little peace maybe.
 
Thanks bunnylove!! I just know they usually end up eating things as well as peeling the bark off, so wanted to make doubly sure! :lol:
 
Its ok everyone, I have just "asked Jeeves" and he reckoned that apple trees, walnut, oak and pecan are ok, but ones to totally avoid are apricot, cherry, peach, plum, redwood, cedar and juniper due to the toxins which make them poisenous to bunsters. Think I'll go and ring my mother in law to double check that they are definately walnut! Thanks for your replies!! :lol:
