Hi
Yesterday my step-daughters arrived at my house with their rabbit - it had been kept outside full time & not looked after very well at all. He's now living with us and has been to the vet. I have a bit of experience with bunnies as I used to have a Flemish Giant (who sadly died last week & wasn't being replaced!!!) but he never had any problems (he died suddenly & we don't know why). The new bunny (Gerard) has spent his life eating rabbit muesli & the occasional vegetable and has subsequently developed tooth and claw problems - I am trying to get him to eat hay but he doesn't seem to know what to do with it!! He's had some 'nuggets' but I'm reluctant to feed him too many in case he keeps his hunger at bay with them & still avoids the hay. They Hay I am trying to get him to eat is Excel Supa Forage. Any suggestions on how to get him to eat it would be much appreciated.
Thanks, Sudders
