White powdery stuff on apple leaves

[hayethusiasts]

Hi. I have had an order of dried apple leaves and they have white powdery stuff on it. They reassured me it is safe to give and that it is honeydew residue from insects. Just wondering please if it is safe? Or if anyone has recommendations on where to buy dried apple leaves please? I bought mine from Wild about bunnies.

Thank you so much

I just googled it as I’d never heard of it. It says people actually eat it! It’s like honey.

I’d still wash it off as it might be too sugary for piggies. But safe.

It looks like mold at first but they said it's from the aphids. I am still quite reluctant to give it so i am looking at where to buy apple leaves lol

Does It smell like mold to you? Maybe wet a little bit of it to test.

It does not, no... it does look like a residue from insects (aphids) but not sure if that in itself is safe for guinea pigs too...
