Citrus Branches

[PhoenixTheMiniLop]

Are citrus branches ok for my 6 week old mini lop to chew on?
Even if she eats some of it.. is this ok?

I want to start teaching her early to chew on what i offer and not furniture in the future as she is an indoor bun.

Any answers are appreciated, thanks

Here is a list of safe and toxic plants for rabbits:

I do not see any citrus listed on either the safe or unsafe. I would avoid it until you are sure it is safe.

Not to burst your idea, but rabbits will chew on whatever they want to chew on. Some will chew what others won't. But I've never heard (in 25 years of keeping rabbits) someone training their rabbit to only chew on certain items.

Still, all of my rabbits have been indoor rabbits. If one of them ever wants to chew on something I don't want them to, then it is time for creative bunny-proofing. The way to prevent unwanted chewing is to remove the item or block it off.

Don't be discouraged if, in several weeks, she starts to go chew crazy. Some rabbits, when hormonal, will chew excessively and on all sorts of items. But once she's spayed, that will decrease dramatically.
