This may be a really stupid and novice question (about brambles)

[Sky-O]

I had the pleasure roll of accidently locating some fresh brambles in my garden this evening. If I'm giving the leaves, do I have to remove the spikey bits?

(chelle, wish wolfed down some of your dried brambles, but Badger wouldn't touch them, I'm hoping he will try these).

I cut the spinny bits out but you don't have too because they will eat them.

My boys eat them with the spikey bits on with no problems

I don't think you have to but I usually do.

Ok, I now feel less stupid because the last time I gave them I cut the spikey bits out.

 

[rabbitnutrition]

When I first started picking them I took the spikes out. But they were happy eating them and it saves a lot of pricked fingers to leave them whole

yeah - glad she liked them! Mine adore anything fresh over dried I think.,..but they tend to chosse what they want or need at different times they crave different things.....def. have favourties......hopefully Badger will enjoy some fresh ones and then move onto the dried ones too..they dry really well done they! Great colour!

I removed the spike bits mainly cause if I dry them I wont get a thorn in me when I grab a handful out the bags.....got thorned already & didnt like it!:lol:
The buns can eat them though....
