Sorry really pointless post just wanted to share some success with you!
Mr has NEVER been a big hay eater - we "rescued" him of a free gumtree add when he was 6 months old we have had him for almost a year now and he has always turned his nose up to any hay we presented him with... apart from Timothy & Rye which he seemed to munch now and then on...Wilma loved it and would eat enough for both!
We used to fill it up in their cage twice a day most days and it was always Wilma munching away..
Yesterday after some painful and tiring bonding over 4 months nearly they moved into their bedroom together (previously Mr's home) and it was in the room we where storing all of the rabbit things - Hay, Megazorb etc (all the MASSIVE things that didnt fit in cupboards etc)
So there was a 1/3 used 9.5kg bale of Timothy & Rye which i decided that rather than moving id just let them at it...i didnt think it would do much harm...
AND MR LOVES IT...He has never been a digger or scratcher in the house but the big bale of hay must of brought out his inner rabbit and he is grazing into, digging at and ive no doubt ill come back from training tonight and he will have burrowed into and made himself and Wilma a little burrow!!
This is such good news after his recent spur removal - which was probably caused (not through lack of trying) lack of hay eating!! YAY FOR HAY!!!
