  Does anyone know if it’s safe for bunnies to chew branches from olive and black mulberry trees?

  On this list, it says that olive wood is toxic.
  
  Good rabbit safe options are apple or pear branches, rosemary or lavender twigs, and willow, but there’s a longer list of safe woods on the link below too

  Often a bunny will be totally fine with a nibble of a toxic plant, but it can build up in their system, so its best to avoid

  Then that’s probably the reason that nothing happened to her! Thanks

  From what I can find, mulberry is safe. I give leaves to my Bam during the leafy season, but I’ve never actually given him twigs or branches. We had an Aussie member who used to give her bun mulberry leaves, so I learnt it from her. The ASPCA lists it as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses. Horses are similar to buns in many aspects regarding food (foliovores, hind gut fermenters, big cecum),https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants/mulberry-tree

  Bam thank you! I also checked some other websites that said the unriped leaves and branches of mulberry may cause some side effects…So i will give her only the dried ones.
