hi all,just lately ive noticed bluebell isnt eating as much.she has half a carrot n 2 spring green leaves in the morning along with her food n normally she scoffs everything but recently shes only eating abit.she looks abit scrauny but shes going through a mega moult so could that be making her look skinnier?any tips on what could be up?should i take her vets just get her checked out?x
 
Just dropping by to say my buns aren't eating as much as they usually do either but they are spending a lot more time free in the garden and eating grass daisies and any tasty roots they can dig up, so I assumed it was down to this
 
hi Kim, How much pellet is she eating now that she is not nursing? Are her poos normal?

As she is free range, could she be eating lots of grass. You will need to watch that you have no ivy etc at the bottom as its toxic.

I would ask your Vet to check Bluebell's teeth. Selective feeding and weightloss can be a sign of early Dental problems. Is she a good hay eater and are her poos 'normal' ie not very small and dark?
