        We just got our Christmas tree yesterday. It is a chemical free Frazier fur. I read on another post that rabbits can safely nibble a bit on pine. I had originally thought it was off limits like cedar. Now I am wondering if anyone knows how much is safe? Our rabbits are so excited about this tree and keep cleaning up the scrap needles that fall. While they are not setting down for a full meal or going after the branches, I feel like they are nibbling quite a bit. Aside from not letting them get too much too soon, are there any risks here?

          I did a lot of research on this last year, and I’m pretty sure that within reason, untreated christmas tree is safe. I imagine the novelty will probably wear off soon too, so they’re probably more enthusiastic now since you’ve just got it.

          The HRS says that they’re perfectly safe.

          And a vet saying they’re safe:

            I wouldn’t feel comfortable with them eating the needles but I don’t know if it actually is harmful.
