Apple Sticks straight from tree?

[shooni]

Hi All, Can I give Doc Wilbur chew sticks straight from our apple tree from the backyard?
Saw a box of 8 small sticks advertised on bunny world for $16.50 and thought I may be able to utilise our apple tree when we prune. I worry about his teeth anic:.

Sure. I do this with my girls all the time. Just make sure you have never sprayed the trees with pesticides or any other chemicals.

From what I've read, apple branches are the only tree wood you can safely give bunnies straight from the tree. Others need to be dried first.

I've got an apple tree on my front lawn, and Natasha loves the twigs, especially in spring when she can get the flowers and new leaves to nibble on, too.

If the tree doesnt have any pesterside on it then she should be fine eaten it.

Mine loved them, especially when they were green and fresh. Thought that willow was alright too when fresh.

Thanks all,
