couple of weeks ago i posted that holly had started eating the dogs bone, i had no replies but really would like some advice. i know it sounds funny but i was concerned if holly might be lacking something.

she had 6 beautiful babies just over 3 weeks ago and it is since then that she has been obsessed with the dog bone and anything she can find on your dinner plates. the other night she was trying to lick curry sauce:shock: i have notice her wee is leaving a really strong white stain, looks chalky if you know what i mean. not like the other rabbits wee stains.

she is eating plenty and seems happy, just wondered if i needed to give her anything extra
 
perhaps give your vet a ring and speak to one of the nurses? She should be happy to give general advice over the phone I would think and also could make you an appointment if she felt one was needed.
 
As a mum who is lactating she will be needing to eat loads and loads. Are you feeding her unliited pellets as well as unlimited hay?
 
holly is the boss:D the top bunny of the house. yep, she has food all day long, she doesn't even eat all that is in her cage. when she is out and about the house she wants everything she shouldn't.
last night i had a pizza and put the plate on the floor(bad habit i know) and there was some crusts left on it, next second holly grabs a crust and runs:p it's iike having a naughty child.
she seems well and happy and babies are adorable and healthy. maybe i'm just being over protective and have to accept i have a bunny who likes dog bones, pizza and curry sauce:D
 
I would maybe make sure that she has as much food as needed and have a chat with the vet. Is she poo'ing normally?
 
Some bunnies are weird like that, I've had buns before that liked just about everything. My Chloe loved cereal :shock:

As long as she eats plenty of hay and pellets I'd say she's healthy :)
 
poo all normal, she has loads of hay and food. she is running round normal and seems happy. will just keep an eye on her. thanxs for all the advice.
