Thorns and Thistles

[Sabine]

I pulled out this huge thistle a while back and left it in the greenhouse to dry hoping the spikes will all go limp and I could try feeding it to the bunnies. Although completely dried I could still not handle it without gloves. I gave it to the bunnies anyhow and the munched away on it without flinching!?

I noticed before that they are rather partial to spiky plants like the holly bush and the blackberry leaves. How do they manage to eat them without hurting themselves?

"How do they manage to eat them without hurting themselves?"

....as my son would say, "Uber bunney skillz'
pfft, they can't divulge ALL their secrets!

I occasionally get a wreath at Michael's that has thorns on it. The buns are 100% OK with this.
