Clovers

[luvmyangels]

Hi! I was reading through the feeding your rabbit library and I had a few questions regarding clovers. Some of the sites say feeding clover is fine but then I read something about not feeding the flowers becausethey arehard to digest. I have a ton in my front yard right now. I am going to cut them and put them to the side before my front lawn is cut.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Have a great day!!

I don't know what the general wisdom is, but Hershey eats all kinds of clovers, flowers and all, and he hasn't had any problems.

Maybe just try a little at a time and see how it goes.

I feed my rabbits regular clover I gues. It is just the stuff I find in the hard that looks like clover. The stuff you search thru endlessly to find a fourleaf clover. lol.

Just make sure your rabbits don't get to much, they love it but it can be deadly if they get to much. I rarely give clover to my buns, they are lucky if they get it once or twice a month. But you can give it to them everyday, just small amounts.

I had never heard to not give them the flowers, I have given them to mine and not had a problem.

Mine have never had any trouble with fresh clover... everything in moderation. I've never heard of a problem with the flowers either.

I let mine out in the pasture, and they sit there and go straight for the clover flowers, and ignore the actual clover..

I think they did not get the memo about not eating the flowers..
