I have been looking through the toys/chews onthe link from this forum. I came across a package of pinecones. Would these be the same as the pine cones that I canfind in my yard? We do not spray fertilizer or pesticides, sowould it be safe for me to give Bunny a pine cone fromoutside? She is about 10 weeks old, don't know if that willmake a difference.

I don't know if it is because she is still a baby, but she is such achewer!!! I give her paper to shred, and she always has lotsof fresh hay...but I think something a little more crunchy would bemuch more satisfying to her.

Here is a picture of the cones I saw in the chews section:

 
Yep, I think it's fine. As long asyou're not using pesticides. Wash it off well and you shouldbe good to go.

I give pine cones to my buns every now and then.
There's a house around the corner from me that always has a bunch on their lawn from their tree.

I bake them before giving them to the buns. You want to make sure any little buggers are exterminated.

Bake at about200 degrees for around 20 minutes.

That is awesome guys! Thanks somuch! I will go get some and bake them. I think thebaking is a really good idea by the way!

Bunny is gonna think I'm the best!
 
I agree with the baking - I never thought ofthat Jim - but smart! I'm going to start baking minetoo. Probably tastes better too. :D

Oh, darnit. Now I wish Ryan's mom had nevermoved from her old house. We had TONS of pine cones laying around theback deck because we basically lived in the National Forest.

Ah well, I hope Bunny likes her pine cones :biggrin:.
