En garde!   :duel:   Let the battle begin!




All highly toxic!  :eek:  :eek:  :eek:  You may as well just do this: :axe: and be done with it!   :whistle:


 


Curses!  :evil:  Foiled again!   :angry:


Well... ahem... MaggieJ says maple and poplar are okay... :hmm:


 :idea:  ... but they taste absolutely horrible!  Ever seen a rabbit do this?  :razz2:  :sick:  


Not buying it, eh? 


***SIGH!!!***


Darn it!  Now my bunnies are going to want to come to your rabbitry, with your hoity-toity expensive wood chew toys!  :cry_baby:  I may as well just pack them a lunch and go open all the cages now.   :roll:


 


Your dad must be a Cabinet Maker or an installer?... unless construction is a lot different out there and houses are framed with hard woods?!?  ;)


My dad was a Master Cabinet Maker and so is my eldest brother.  :D


Now, to get serious on the wood question;


I think that the rabbits wood enjoy (edit: Lol... would enjoy!  Amusing typo/brain malfunction, so I'll let it stand!) the poplar most because it has the least density of the woods you mentioned.

Oak (wood, bark, and leaves) is listed as toxic to rabbits, but mine eagerly eat the leaves that blow into their cages, and they are still alive.


I bought the kids an Easter bunny one year, and we kept her in a large aviary.  I put a couple of hollow oak logs in there for shelter.  When the logs are becoming hollow, the inner wood becomes softer and not all of that was removed prior to putting them in the cage.  She eventually chewed all of it out, and the inside of the logs was as smooth as a piece of furniture.  She also chewed all of the bark off of the outside.  She didn't chew much on the logs themselves after that- too hard, I think.




Aww!   :oops:   You are welcome to visit anytime you make it out to California, Sky!  I'll send you home with some bunny toys!  :p
