Can rabbits eat twigs from plum trees?

lbt_2

Hi

I have read quite often that twigs and branches from apple trees are good for rabbits teeth, and someone has kindly donated a lovely big bag of apple and plum tree branches.

Just wanted to check that they are okay to eat twigs from plum trees. Does anyone know?

Also at this time of year many trees have a soft green covering, is this okay for them too?

Thanks

As far as I'm aware, wood from trees bearing single stoned fruit (plums, cherries, peaches etc) is UNSAFE for rabbits.

But I don't personally have experience of it, I just read it on the internet.

Untreated wood, twigs and logs that have been aged for at least 3 months. Apple tree branches can be eaten fresh off the tree. Stay away from: cherry, peach, apricot, plum and redwood, which are all poisonous.

Just read that on the internet too.......
