Fruit tree branches

[spoh]

I have seen apple tree branches on different websites for sale, has anybody ever bought them? Are they any good? I would love to buy some, at least to last until summer but I don't want to waste the money if they are crap. I have bought the cheapy little bark things from Pet Supplies Plus and she won't even look at them.

Anybody?

Thanks Joy

I have purchased them and they are a huge hit here. If you purchase them from Farmer Dave on Ebay, they are SUPER fresh and still smell like an apple just picked off the tree...nice and crisp .

The ones sold in pet stores could have been sitting in their packaging, in a warehouse, for a year. So, I doubt they are fresh. I find most things from pet stores aren't very good. I have seen those bark things and they look dusty and fake, lol.

Great thanks, I will take a look

I just ordered some branches and some sticks. Hopefully they come quickly and she likes them. Is there any way to keep them fresh? Can I store them in the freezer?

Hmmmm...I may have to check out these apple branches too. Billy has a huge problem with chewing stuff, and he refuses to chew the untreated wood I give him. Only problem is, every time I check these farmer type websites the shipping ends up being over $15!

Let us know how it goes. Even with the bark chewed off, the stick can be used as a toy. Our neighbors and some friends have apple trees, so I just have to ask if I want some.

Yeah, I saw that too so I ordered some! And while I was at it I ordered some timothy hay with a $9 or so shipping charge :? My bunnies refuse to eat the Kaytee brand timothy hay so hopefully they'll like this farmer dave stuff!

Yes, storing them in the freezer should keep them fresher for longer .

We keep all sorts of crap in our freezer...lol. I don't even think I'd have room to fit one apple stick in there .
