if they're still alive i'll assume their ok, LOL:biggrin2:

I'll try and find it... but before I found this forum I found a list that said that raddish greens were safe, but the actual raddishes weren't :? It could have been wrong I guess!

We gave Mouse and Chalk the greens and they loved them but it didn't seem worth it to keep buying them just for the leave when neither of us eats raddishes LOL!

Here's the link:

It's 'Going green'

It actually doesn't say anything about the actual radishes, just that the tops are safe to eat, I just took that to mean don't try the actual radishes, but I don't know for sure at all..... hope that helps a bit!

Radish Tops are definitely safe. I would pass on giving them the actual radish.

I love radishes! I can remember being little at my Grandparents home picking them out of the garden, Grandpawashing them at the pump and us sharing them.

Few ever made it to the dinner table!

Lol! It's not that I dislike them... it's just that they don't taste of very much to me, so I never think to eat them or put them in anything lol.... Maybe I'll try them again for the sake of the bunnies getting a new green!

Sammy and Zamboni both love radishes. I try to buy them from the farmers market so that they are fresh. I cut the tops off and mix it into their cilantro and parsley salad because the tops don't stay fresh for long and cut the radish in half and give them each a slice.

Usually the radish is the first thing they eat!!lol

could a mod add a poll for me? the question should be "are radish bottoms safe for bunnies?" and the opptions should be 'yes' and 'no'. thanks!

my 3 vote yes and they're tasty (the radishes, that is!)

I have gave them for years and had no problems that I could pinpoint being from them. They are actually a small part of my rabbits' diet currently. Everytime I see a list it just says the green from them but I give the radish themselves so I say they are fine.
