Hi - I have 2 female 2 year old rabbits. We are fairly new to rabbits so hoping for some advice.
One seems perfectly healthy all the time - eats hay nonstop, poos perfect. the other is more of a worry - she eats pellets ( eggcupful of excel) but would definitely eat more of these if she got them. She eats any herbs or greens she gets ( just a few bits and pieces every day). She drinks fine and seems to pee ok too. Every day they get time out on grass, and also have a permanent run and a shed so she has exercise opportunities. We have loads of different types of hay to try and get her to eat one as she just picks at it - oxbow timothy, burns meadow hay, vita stuff with herbs, pet shop stuff and have just ordered sample pack from the hay experts. CAn't find a deent farm to sell less quantity than an enormous bale I have no space for. I put the hay in the litter trays, the rack, a hay ball and as bedding. So, she generally has the "string of pearls type poos" and seems generally a bit too skinny round the hip bones.
Not sure what else to do to get her a picture of health - any advice appreciated !
