Hi My little girl Fudge has had a sensitive tummy since she was born.
I cant feed her many vegetables at all as she gets a messy bum all the time. They were introduced to her gradually as her brothers but she just cant get them. The only things i can give her are herbs and little bits of broccoli.
She is fed small amounts of supa rabbit excel junior and dwarf as she is a mini lop and only 4 months old.
The problem is she doesn't eat a lot of hay and her tummy is making weird noises. I did take her to the vets and he told me to give her almost no pellets and lots of hay, but this hasn't worked. She is eating the tiny amount of pellets and eating no hay. She looks at me as if to say i want more food.
This has been going on for a week and she just isn't interested in hay.
I have spent so much money on hay to see if different types of hay would encourage her to eat it. The types of hay i have bought are Timothy, meadow, flavored (Mint, dandelion, nettle and rose) alfalfa, and dried grass. I have also bought packets of things to mix with her hay like dried peppermint leaves, ribwort leaves, dried carrot and parsley, alfalfa leaves, rosebuds, and mixed dried herbs. And none of this had encouraged her to eat.
She is losing a tiny bit of weight as she isn't getting as much pellets and normal but i don't want to give up as my vet told me to reduce the amount of pellets.
Can anyone help me at all on how to get Fudge to eat her hay. Her mum and dad love hay why is she not like them??
Thank you all
