I'm not sure what type of maple tree it is, Would you bake the crabapple sticks before giving them?

I haven't ever baked the branches. I have given willow, mulberry, rose and plum. The likelihood is that the maple is okay as well. I have seen both red and silver on safe lists.

Here is the rub on maples. The decorative Japanese are reported as poisonous to rabbits. Red, Sugar, Rock, Curly, Silver are all OK. I can attest to these varieties of Acer.

You CAN bake the branches if you want. Frankly I think they will be more appealing to the rabbits if left to simply air dry. My rabbits largely ignore the toys made from kiln dried willow. On the other hand they cheerfully consume the mulberry branches and maple saplings.
