I've tried loads and loads of types of hay with Jack. I've bought two sample packs from the Hay Experts, hoping he might like one. I've bought hay that smelt nice, containing herbs, rose petals, dandelion... I've bought cheap hay from super markets, I've bought expensive hay that came in tiny bags. I've bought meadow hay, timothy hay, orchard grass. I'm running out of hay to try with him. He ignores it, or else uses it to make himself a bed. The only thing he'll sort of pick at is Readigrass. It honestly looks as if he goes from 7pm, when he has a tiny handful of pellets - there's no more than about ten! - to morning when he has his breakfast without touching the stuff.
The thing is, he had his myxi jab yesterday and is developing spurs on his back teeth. The vet said to keep an eye on it, and that encouraging him to eat hay might help wear them down. I just can't make him eat hay. He'd honestly rather go hungry than eat the stuff.
I'm half tempted to start giving him Alfalfa just to get him wearing his teeth down, but I don't want the high calcium content to cause more problems. :?
He also won't touch grass. He's an indoor bunny, so doesn't go in the garden yet, but I've brought him grass from different parts of the garden - and my neighbour's garden. Brought him different types. He ignores it.
He's such a pesky boy!
