        Hello everyone and happy holidays!

        I was hoping some of you more experienced bunny mamas and papas could help me out. Today I was walking around the hardware store and I found these huge bags of fresh-looking wood chunks; there was Apple tree wood, cherry tree wood, and mesquite (?) wood. It looked really yummy (from a Bun’s perspective, of course! ). However, I couldn’t find an ingredients list on it. I talked to the nice man who runs the shop and he said he thinks it had to have been heat-treated (to reduce the risk of bugs) but he wasn’t sure about chemicals.

        Has anyone successfully fed their bunny wood chunks like these? They are marketed for grilling so I at least know that whatever runs off in smoke when burn is safe for human consumption.

        I didn’t buy any of course because “better safe than sorry!” But I think Jake would enjoy chewing these chunks. Plus, $9 for what looks like an infinite supply of chews? That’s awesome!

        Thank you all for being very bunny awesome as I ask lots of questions; I got that new bunny mama anxiety!

          The apple wood pieces would be okay but the cherry may not be. Cherry wood is supposed to be a no-go for rabbits. However, if it’s thoroughly dried, it *may* be safer. I really don’t know! As for mesquite, I am clueless on that one.
          You could possibly get just apple wood in similar stores.
