Cat grass

[jerseygirl]

I just bought a Cat Grass kit that I’ve seen in hardware store from time to time.  I wasn’t sure exactly what Cat grass is but after looking it up have found it is Cocksfoot or Orchard grass.   Botanic name: Dactylis Glomerata.  I cannot find Cocksfoot on safe list for rabbits.  If it’s an orchard grass, this should be safe for Jersey shouldn’t it?   I’ve also read Cat grass varieties can be rye/barley/oat grass.  All safe?

Has anyone else fed their buns Cat Grass? Seems easy to grow and has some health benefits so thought I’d give it a try.

Cat grasses should be fine for bunnies. I thought they were usually wheat berries, and the sprouts were wheat grass?

I guess it varies depending on the manufacturers. I don’t know what type this one is as packet doesn’t specify but I may get more of an idea once I look at the seeds. Thanks Osprey!

Everytime i’ve seen it I’ve wanted to buy it, but it never says what kind of grass it is…So I just haven’t tried but I really want to do it! Let us know the brand if you find its OK to feed!!
