Burns meadow mix, sprinkled onto the hay.

Yes as Jenova says try sprinkling some of the dried herb mixes on top and ready grass (dried grass) also helps Some online bunny food sites will sell or provide free samples of different hays so you might find your bunny naturally prefers one over another!

Sprinkle on the dust out of the bottom of your nugget bag, or put some nuggets in. Ours like to sit in it to eat it, so they have a plastic dog bed in the run that we put hay in, they also have a hanging hay thing.

It was horrible, but I went cold turkey with Bramble and only gave him hay and nothing else.....now he won't stop eating it!! He now has veg and pellets too.

There's a brand of hay called Vitaverde that comes with treats mixed in, rose leaves, dandellion or nettle. Jollyes sell it for about £3.50 which isn't cheap for a 500g bag but it's good for a treat and to encourage hay eating.
