I know this has been done before but I'm getting to the point of running out of ideas. So far I have done:-
I always use green sweet smelling hay for all the buns.
Selection pack from the hay experts - no interest
only giving grass - disaster ending in stasis
reducing pellets - just lost weight
chopping hay up
Covering hay with critical care food that I know he loves - showed interest the first time but ignored after that
mixed hay with grated carrot - picked out the carrot
Likewise if dandelions in grass - picks out dandelions (better than nothing!)
Hay cakes - no interest
He has fresh hay every day that he doesn't touch other than to pee on.
He has fresh grass every day which he has the occasional nibble on but not much.
He has excell pellets morning and night and a small amount of greens.
he used to have a small hand full of pellets once a day like the ohter buns but is thin at the moment so he is having 2 lots to try to put the weight on. I do realise this may reduce the chance of him eating hay but feel stuck between getting his weight up and getting him to eat hay to reduce the number of dentals he has. Otherwise he is well and bright.
Any advice would be appreciated
