I'm out of Timmothy Hay, and they seem to be nibbling the little handful of grass I brought in...Is that safe for a bun?
Grass OK?

In the summer we always cut big handfuls oflawn grass and feed it to Miffy & Munchkin - they love it! I don't use anything on my lawn and cut off the roots and make sure it is dry grass, not wet.

My rabbits are always on our lawn munching away at the grass! They love it.
You probually know this already, but just incase somebody doesnt: NEVER give them lawn grass cut from your lawn mower. Now THAT is dangerous!
But lawn grass is perfectly fine. But im not sure if it is OK for them if it has been treated with chemicals? As we never put any chemicals on our grass.

It's okay to give them as long as you don't put chemicals on your lawn and it's not lawn mower clippings. Start slow, though, because giving too much too quickly could upset their stomachs.

Really? (I haven't) but what's wrong with lawn mower clippings?

Yeah it is!
Me and my sister use to look after two horses for this lady, and she kept her horses in a field down a close. And the house next to the field cut their lawn one day, and desided to chuck the grass cuttings over the fence for the horses. One of the horses got seriously ill and very nearly died. So horrible
They should have like a warning on the lawn mower packaging when they buy it about giving the cuttings to animals, as not many people are aware of this.
And thank you Prizm! I like your avatar too!

Oh wow I wouldn't have thought of that!--An electric lawn mower would probably be safe though right? (& ty for avatar comment )

When Thor's outside in the summer, she's munching away on the grass by her outdoor penned in area, while observing the wild cottontails munching away on the backyard grass! Bunny see, bunny do!
