Yes thanks, I had checked that out and I’m planning on composting it very well before using on plants. Definitely not using as mulch. I wish I had some spots that need weed killing, it’d be cool to try that and see how well it actually kills weeds. But wait -does anyone know if it kills poison...

Thank you for your quick reply! I was leaning toward the compost solution myself, just wanted to get more input.

We have been given 3 trash bags of mostly walnut and some cherry sawdust. It seems clear we shouldn’t use it for chicken litter or mulch, but we’re wondering if it’s ok to use as flooring in our rabbit building. The rabbits are all in cages 3-4 feet above ground and wouldn’t have any direct...

Thanks for the input! Yes I will definitely avoid any treated wood. I don’t use it much anyway and I would certainly not give them a piece of wood if I were not sure it’s untreated. I was mainly wondering if there’s any particular species of wood that might be used for lumber that’s bad for...

Thanks for the additional info. I found my old patch of garlic chives this morning - I thought my husband had mowed it down enough to kill it but some is still there so I harvested some and fed it to the buns. Only one didn’t seem to like it, but I’ll try again, and plant some more in pots for...

Thanks, all! It is reassuring that I probably didn’t poison them with hay, and while always confusing to know that heat stress is unpredictable as to who gets slammed by it, at least I know what steps I can take to minimize it, and beyond that it’s out of my hands (the heat issue, I mean.) Also...

I have several meat rabbits (well, hypothetically meat, we haven’t actually slaughtered any yet) and before now have only lost one (other than babies under a week). That one had been losing weight despite eating well and had very sticky sweet urine at the end so I suspect diabetes, though I know...
