Cottonwood leaves?

[philothea]

Can rabbits have Cottonwood leaves? They are all over the ground, and dry. Just fell this week. MY chickens love digging in them.

Thanks

If by "cottonwood" you mean Populus deltoides or closely related species, then yes, the leaves, twigs and bark are excellent for your rabbits. I do not approve plants as safe unless the botanical (Latin) name is included. Common names often vary from region to region and may refer to quite different plants. Too risky!
