At times when I have the time to stand and watch the buns eat the forage I give them, I have been trying to give it to them in several small piles w/ each different leaf/plant to see what they like best. Today's selection in order of best to worst was: plantain, sunflower leaves, sweet potato leaves, raspberry leaves, lambs quarters. They didn't really eat the lamb's quarters, just nibbled and left them. I had given them the new growth tops of the lambs quarters.


How about you guys, what forage to your buns like best.

Mine love plantain as well! They go nuts for chickweed.

And this is not forage, but I've had great luck with banana peels disappearing in the bun pen.

I wondered about banana peels just the other day, but didn't put them in b/c I didn't know.
