Acorns?

[bbkaren]

I saw some info online about acorns (boiled to remove the tannic acid) being a good source of protein for humans.

Can rabbits eat them as well?

If so that's an awesome resource here because we have a couple of huge oak trees nearby. In the fall, the neighbor's house sounds like someone is playing drums because the acorns fall on their tin roof lol.

You might find these studies interesting. I think it would be important to take note of the species of oak used.

Maggie, your first link was missing the ".pdf"

This link should work:

We're about to run out now, but I'll check it out later. Looks like some interesting info!

Thank you!

Oops, sorry about that. Went back and fixed it for future reference.
