I got this lil lady on Wednesday...as you can see for a mini lop she is huuuuge! :shock: she is about the same size of my other 2 bun who are dwarf lops and it feels like she weighs more than them.
When I got her she had a lot of hard poo matted around her bum and back paws...this all came off eventually. She has had a messy bum yesterday and today...her poops are quite dark and are moist so they're just sticking to her butt...where she is overweight I'm guessing she can't quite get around that area to clean herself properly.
She didn't have a messy bum on wednesday night...I think this is because I kept her indoors and she ate quite a bit of hay...now that she is outside she doesn't seem to be eating much hay. Any tips on how I can encourage her to eat it?
Also...the lady who did have her was feeing her a big bowl of allen and page pellets a day!!! Definitely want to cut down on this...can I just straight away just give her small amounts of pellets?
Also any tips on how to help her to loose the weight?
Thanks :wave:
