Christmas trees

Dilly · 2005-12-13 16:27:00

Hi guys, I just wanted to double check if it would be ok for me to get a real Christmas tree into the house if I have a bun on the loose? I can't seem to find any info on whether or not they are poisonous to rabbits. If anyone knows either way, I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know! Dilly

As far as I know raw pine like on a xmas tree isn't safe for rabbits esp. fresh with the sap and bark etc. What you could do is stick the xmas tree on a high box which might put the rabbit off or put a little wire screen around it just to be on the safe side. We have large pine trees growing in our garden and I know it's not safe for them so I would say the other pines aren't either.

Hmmm....I'd better block it off from him when I put it up so. I can probably cut off any lower branches too.

Thanks a lot for your help!
