Thought I'd ask here (i have another thread in the Health section) but going shopping in a bit so need more answers!!
Ozzie the rabbit had his 1st dental on Tuesday and since then he hasn't been eating quite normally. The vet kept him in overnight and he's now home and is eating but only selectively.
He's going back for his check up tomorrow morning, but until then what can i try him on?
He will eat:
greens - but not the stalks
parsley
parsnip - doesn't finish the chunk tho
carrot - as with the parsnip
chunks of dried bread - his fave treat and still loves them now... hasn't refused one yet!
oats
dandelions
flaked peas - ate one of these at least
He won't eat:
pellets - he usually has a mix of SS mature and original
his treats like Fenugreek crunchies
stalks of greens
and i don't think he's eaten any hay or readigrass
Why do you think he's not eating - can his teeth still be hurting? Has anyone had an experience like this? Could it be a sign there is something else wrong?
And what can i get to tempt him more! I've run out of parsley and dandelions now!!!! I was wondering whether a small amount of Russell Rabbit mix might tempt him...?
Thanks x
