Fantastic idea
Mine too :thumb:
Mine actually like buddleia very much
I've two big bushes in the garden
Haha, I knew you were going to say this :lol: I remembered you saying before about Buddleia. All I can say is yours must be particularly tasty, cos my rabbits don't normally reject anything

Do you mean Buddleia or Herb Robert?
They eat every scrap of Herb Robert. I don't feed Buddleia flowers, but just the leaves and stems

I only offered the leaves and stems.
Hettie was having none of it! had one mouthful then ran off! Colin didn't even bother trying it!
We have a couple of Hop plants that are scrambling up different sides of the house. Well this year they've gone bonkers and there are baby Hop plants growing everywhere up through shrubs. Don't quite know why. Perhaps we didn't tidy them up quite as much last year or the year before and they have self-seeded. Anyway, the rabbits are delighted They're going mad for them. I've also noticed lots of wild ones growing up through the hedges along the road, so perhaps it's just a very good year for Hops

Hops .. I remember last year when I visited Twigs for her Foraging Day, we gathered in hops. I've seen none down here, but I picked a lot whilst with Twigs and hung them up to dry. The buns loved them! You have lucky buns

We leave it for 24hrs, by which time they'll have finished everything that isn't hay or isn't liked! Buddleia falls into the 'worse than hay' category. But any fresh green stuff is acceptable when it's 'bramble or hay' (i.e. winter) :lol:

Who is still foraging. I had a lovely beckside walk today, kicking through the leaves. It smelt of autumn.
Found loads of new growth hogweed, geranium & the usual dandelion, plantain. Trees are pretty much bare now. Got ambushed as soon as I got home, they have fine noses my bunnies
