Is anise OK for bunns to eat??

[Runestonez]

My hubby is Italian and eats anise(sort of likecelery--Eeeww!!:yuck) I personally hate it but our bunns beglike there is no tomorrow when he eats it!! It smells likeblack licorice.(also not a fav of mine):yuck I havelooked around and haven't found it on any of the safe veggie pages sofar... In Italian it is called- Finnochio. Doesanyone know??? And if you have given it is there anything weshould watch for? (ex. broccoli-gas, carrot tops-calcium...etc...)

Hi,

im sure another name for anise is fennel,well that is what we call itover here anyway,i have heard other people do feed it to their buns andthey go crazy for it and they have had no problems by feeding it totheir bunnies,actually the bunnies just love the stuff,i personallyhave not tried my buns on it though,i just don't think aboutbuyingit when i buy their veggies

It's on the safe list. I bought it once and my buns hated it. Oh well.

Thank you Cheryl!!:bunnydance:

Tony (hubby) has given them some before and I was mad as heck becausehe didn't check the list I have posted everywhere but hisforehead!

All three bunns andTonywere sitting on the couchside by side while he munched on his and shared with thebunns!! It was cute but I couldn't remember the other namefor itand was getting worried as to whether or not it wasOK!!! You should grab some and see if your bunnlikes it! Ours freak out! Even before he decided toshare they were begging like crazy!!!

Hi, I was going to buy a fennel today, but after looking at it i was wondering what part do you feed the Bunnies?

Thanks

We give them the green tops and a little bit ofthe stalk...we just cut it up the same as celery and put it in theirgreens dish. I wishfennel came with more leafyparts then they do!! But the bunns will eat any part of it!
