    Lol! They can be so funny about what they want to eat sometimes, can't they? My girls love dandelions, fennel, and romaine lettuce, but won't touch dill, arugula, spinach, or most fruits at all. I grew some sugar snap peas and gave them a bit as a special treat and they were thrilled, so I think I'll try offering mulberry branches, leaves, and berries and see how they like a little bit. They're nearly in season here, and I've heard they're good for buns. Anyone else hear anything about mulberry?

It's very funny!
Sometimes my boy doesn't like something, but will inhale it once he sees that somebody else eats it.
Or they love it one day and ignore it the other, such spoiled brats.

I heard that mulberries are generally not well liked, but some bunnies adore them. Same with the leaves. It's worth a try at least. ^^

My rabbits favorite are kale and parsley. I am teaching them to touch a target stick and within a couple weeks they are now spinning and standing, their favorite treats are 100% apple chips. :D

The best luck I had was with my New Zealands! They just inhaled anything! :lol:
I never had trouble getting them to try something.

^Yes a Netherland and a Mini lop, but they aren't completely free. I've build an enclosure for them and when I'm at home, they can go everywhere. :lol:

I dont support Lorelei, but 101rabbits is great for info, so I really like that one!
I have found these to be pretty enjoyable when you're bored and just want to look at rabbits.
*Before anyone gets any farther there are meat breeders/homesteaders in the last two links.

first is StormyRabbits,

Hooks Hollands

This channel is really enjoyable personally because I relate to a lot of it. Its not all rabbits though.

This one is just interesting, not really a whole channel though.



Small update;
My newest brood/show doe arrived last Tuesday and her pedigree name is Cozy's Promise 'Cozy'.
She's a junior, but I really love her curious personality and her sweet nature so far. Big plans for her !

^She's so cute! I agree about Lorelei, though I do watch her informational videos such as litter training. 101 Rabbits is great all around tho c:
