  Hi fellow buns!
  
  So I just gave my 4.5 year old dutch Domino a dried willow wreath I recently bought from the Binky Bunny store — And he LOVES it!! He’s typically a very finicky eater. I have a hard time getting him to eat substantial amounts of hay, and he completely ignores apple or willow branches. So I am so shocked (and excited) that he can’t get enough of this willow wreath.
  
  I was just wondering though if I should monitor his intake at all or how much is “too much” at a time? He’s an only bun-child but I just want to make sure he isn’t going to stuff himself too full if i leave this one wreath out. Can I treat the dried willow leaves the same way we treat hay — leave it out 24/7 and let him have at it as he pleases? Any thoughts or feedback would be great. Thanks!
  
  PS I also received a sample of the Timothy Blue Blend with my order and I DEFINITELY will be ordering some of that for Domino. He has almost devoured the small free sample. And like I said, he’s a picky hay eater, so this is a great surprise. Thanks, BB!

  Hi MrsOwens518 – So glad Domino loved the willow wreath. My bunny goes bonkers for it too. It’s actually a huge favorite with bunnies! (No surprise).
  
  Wreaths are high in fiber and have natural nutrition. Whether I leave it with my bunny 24/7 depends on the bunny. If my bunny will devour the whole thing and eat nothing else, no greens, no hay – nothing, then what I do is break the wreath up. Give a small handful of a few branches at a time.
  
  If my bunny is a nibbler — noms on it, noms on greens, noms on hay, then noms back on it, then I leave it in 24/7. My bunny then takes about a week to make it disappear. If you want to make it last longer though, you can break it apart and give as a treat. My bunny becomes really “trainable” when favorite treats are to be had. It’s amazing what I can teach Aria (even without official clicker training) when I have willow leaves and/or dried Plantain. LOL.
