That Time of Year Again.

Poppy & Apollo with their apple branch.

Apple branches have now become available for the bunnies pleasing them very much.  At certain times of the year the bunnies always get a variety of branches, soon it will be the mixed hedge that gets cut. The hedge has Hawthorn, Blackthorn, Dog Rose, Maple and a few other hedge plants which are all ok for the bunnies. They love to gnaw at the bark and eat the crisp leaves.  This kind of activity is good for their teeth and helps to reduce boredom.  For my bunnies it is also a distraction now that they are not going outside as much due to the weather changing.  If you can get hold of some branches just make sure they haven’t been sprayed with any chemicals. I love to watch them with the branches especially when they get mad at them and start throwing them about. We won’t mention names Apollo.

Thumper & Katie tuck in.
Molly & Peanut have already stripped one branch and are about to start another.

Some bunnies love the thicker branches and make short work of them.
