Hickory?

[alforddm]

I know we've talked about feeding the nuts but I can't find anything here about feeding the leaves? Has anyone tried it?

Sorry about all the seperate thread...I'm just posting them as i think of them. :lol: :lol:

The only experience I have in relation... is that my rabbitry is under some black walnut trees, and my rabbits all think black walnut leaves are some type of rabbit-candy.

I was wary at first, but after a few years of all the rabbits snagging and devouring the falling leaves like potato chips...I just kind of stopped worrying, and sometimes toss a fresh leaf or two into a pile of greens.

Well, I have my spare buck. I may toss him a few leaves and see what happens.

Yeah, I have a rabbit I "experiment" on too... When in doubt, see if Trooper will eat it and what kinds of effects is has on him.

Hickory should be perfectly fine. We use the wood for chinchillas (very very hard wood) and there's nothing concerning in the nuts. Usually if there is a dangerous compound somewhere at least small amounts will show up in some other part with a few exceptions that are generally easy to find as toxic in searches.
