Is it ok if I give my rabbit a branch of my birch tree to chew on instead of my baseboards. Is it poisonous to rabbits?

 

Im not sure ofBirch , i know they do make asugar syrup ot of it , as forbeing good for the rabbit idont dare say , butyou can give them sweet mapleand apple branches withthe same teeth wearing effect.

Apple branches are great for rabbits. Igo down to my local apple orchard and ask if I can have the remains ofcut down branches But always make sure you check for bugs and ask ifthey use pesticides

I find the best thing to use, other than Applewood, is hay cubes. I give them as well as timothy hay to my showbuns. I recently got a two pound bag of 50/50 alfalfa timothyfrom another breeder at a show. They're fairly inexpensive,and they love them

Should twigs be dried out just as pine cones? Baked? Or dried naturally by the sun?
