  So I was just re-reading BB’s tips for bunny-proofing and became confused as to what wood is safe for bunnies and what isn’t. We use 2x4s in one of our area as a bunny blockade like suggested but we’re not sure what type of wood it is. We think pine since it’s light in color and not too heavy and we got from home depot. Is this one of the safe woods for rabbits to chew (and possibly digest?)?? I’d hate to have to go buy more but I did see Bunjamin chewing at it and stopped him but he could’ve already ate some. Either way, I’d like to know before we buy more for his condo.

  S&L: is it better for the apple twigs to be dried or can they be fresh? I have a huge apple tree out back!

  yikes I’m not sure! I *think* in general dried is best all around, but hopefully someone else will answer? I’m jealous you have an apple tree!

  I know willow can be given fresh, this site says apple, rose canes, lemon & orange can be fresh too.

  Fresh apple is fine, but the thing to watch out for are pesticides sprayed on your own, or your neighbors’ trees. Airborne pesticides from someone else’s yard can be toxic also. But if your apple trees are not sprayed and protected, they love apple twigs.
