Question
rabbits like to chew so I would like to let my rabbit (Kenny) have a tree branch or something to chew on. Can you tell me if its ok to give him maple tree branches or evergreens. And he loves bananas is that ok for him. Thank you

Answer
You can find a list of fruit tree branches it is good to chew on at http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/chewing.html  You can also find a list of plants poisonous to rabbits at http://www.rabbit.org/chapters/san-diego/health/poisonous.html

Let the branches dry before you let him have them.

Bananas are wonderful, in a rabbit's opinion.  You can give them a small piece a few times a week.  Otherwise all that sugar can upset his stomach.
