Pomegranate?

[Frecs]

I got a great deal on some pomegranate trees/bushes today. So, I'm wondering if rabbits can eat the leaves/branches/fruit of pomegranate?<br /><br />__________ Thu Feb 07, 2013 1:41 pm __________<br /><br />I found reference to a study that found that pomegranate acts as a natural contraceptive for rabbits and cavies. It didn't say what part of the pomegranate (leaves/seeds/pulp)...

Rabbits can eat the fruit in small amount. it is atheistic so just be careful. Pomegranates are actually a great anti inflammatory. I'm not sure about the wood and leafs though. I also never herd about the contraceptive effects but I guess don't give to a rabbit you want to breed soon

I don't think you have the right word here, Cowgirl. Atheistic refers to rejection of belief in any god. Perhaps if you describe the effect of too much pomegranate we can help you with the term you are looking for.

perhaps she meant anestetic? like pain relief? never heard of it though.
how long is the fruit good for after its opened? my sister got one and never finished it so the insides are in a tupperware in the fridge... been a while though.

Pomegranate is so delicious. I've never offered it to my rabbits probably cause I think they are super delicious and I find it hard to share haha not sure if they are good for them or not.

How did this go?? i have a HUGE overgrown bush that i plan on pruning, and would be great if i could just feed them the twigs and leaves!

A few links. It is difficult because so many sites say pomegranate with no indication of whether they mean the fruit or other plant parts.
