]]> Comment on 5 Ways to Get Your Rabbit to Eat More Hay by Sue http://www.therabbithouse.com/blog/2007/06/20/5-ways-to-get-your-to-rabbit-eat-more-hay/comment-page-1/#comment-1620 Sue Thu, 04 Mar 2010 05:38:29 +0000 http://therabbithouse.com/blog/?p=14#comment-1620 Hi, my adopted rabbit doesn't eat hay at all. Loved veggies especially those with crunchy stems and carrots. He is crazy about his pellets, which we give about 2 tablespoons in the morning and in the evening. How can I retrain him to eat hay? We have tried reducing the pellets but he has retaliated with a lot of pee outside his litter pan. Is there another way or something else that rabbits might find more tasty than the APD Gold, second cut, we give him in unlimited portions everyday? Hi, my adopted rabbit doesn’t eat hay at all.

After the vet visit, she seems to feel better, but she isnt as interested in hay as she used to be and I'm wondering why. I know when i bought her new bags of oxbow timothy and orchard grass after her vet visit they looked different from normal. The orchard grass which I find to be a lot softer was much harder like the timothy and she wasnt excited by it. I'm not sure if maybe the antibiotics and lessening her excitement for hay(she is still excited for oxbow pellets and treats). She pretty much got a full work up and the blood work seemed fine and the meds she was given at the vet over night to help her system move along seemed to work also. My bunny will occasionally eat a piece of hay but she looks through a few more pieces and then she doesnt seem to find any other good pieces to eat. Her poop has been ranging from a little small to normal to normal cecotropes although I'd like to see much more normal sized droppings which I imagine usually come from all of the hay. Anyways, I guess I'm wondering if I should be worried or if it just seems like the antibiotics are messing with her poop and hunger for hay a bit. She seems fine otherwise and enjoys food so I'm hoping when I can get some better orchard and timothy hay she will be more into it. She typically spends a lot of time eating hay so it kind of bothers me that she doesnt care for it much anymore. She is going back to the vet in a couple of weeks for a follow up, but any thoughts? I've heard lightly spraying apple juice on the hay can help, any validity in that?

It comes from a market stall (selling pet supplies only). I think they buy by the bale and repack it as it's just a plain bag. It's hard finding good hay, none of the local pet shops have anything tasty. Have you got any farms near you? I think places that supply horses tend to have better quality stuff that those supply pets. It’s just standard meadow hay, nothing fancy. It comes from a market stall (selling pet supplies only).

Most of the toys I give Humphrey get a dismissive shunt, and that is that. Very decent of Scamp to get involved! Every time I see him I can’t get over what a lively little chap he is….

Must find some weebles, see if Rabbits3 (+1) take to them. They all can do the Snack Balls with pellets and Amelia is able to pick it up and carry it for a couple yards. I agree with Annette as regards Scamp's back legs, so long and hare-like. So excellent !!! all I can say is what a scamp he is! Must find some weebles, see if Rabbits3 (+1) take to them.
