It’s that time of year where some hedge cuttings are becoming available, namely Hornbeam, Beech & Apple.  Not only did I have some available but the bunnies’ Aunties did too. First up was cuttings from my Hornbeam hedge.

A large branch was placed in each of the bunnies’ pens.

And the end results:

The bunnies have never had Hornbeam before & they did ok with them preferring the leaves more when they had dried. They didn’t really do much in the way of stripping the bark though. The Beech hedge branches were next, kindly given by the bunnies’ Aunty C.

The end result:

Once again the bunnies have never had Beech branches & it was surprising how little they were interested in them.  Peanut did the best & some of the others had a good munch of the leaves but not much in the way of stripping the bark & having a good old chew.  In the photo above you can see some bark stripping on the middle branches.
Auntie D then brought over some apple branches, which the bunnies have had before.

The results:

Think it’s quite obvious which branches the bunnies love but it’s always worth trying them on something new just in case you find that favourite thing!
