crab apples?

[mskoala]

are they bad for bunnies? Since stickig Grace outside I am finding them in her area, I'm pretty sure my neighbor is trying to be "helpful" and giving them to her.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrabappleThis will tell you what they are...I myself am about to read it...They've just always been around but I don't think they are true apples...as a kid I was told not to eat them as they were poisonous...I have no idea if that is true or just another random lie perpetrated by my parents/images/emoticons/wink.gif

Here's more info on the crabapple tree: http://www.usd116.org/ums/apple/service/bpark/crabapple.html

I have never seen any toxin listing relating to rabbits and crab apples. They are a favorite treat of wild rabbits. The branches are safe -- I would limit the fruit.
