Hi all,
So I'm looking for some opinions of fellow experienced bunny owners like many of you on here. I recently brought a variety of leaves from Galens Garden (JacksJane's fault![emoji6] ) and my picky eater loves them, however it unfortunately has not encouraged him to eat more hay like I'd hoped, even when I mix the leaves in with the hay. So what I am wondering is, would you say that the leaves are providing enough fibre when fed with high fibre pellets, veg and the occasional mouthful of hay that he will eat? Or would you say I still have a problem? Obviously hay shouldn't be replaced by leaves and forage, however I've tried so many brands and flavours of hay and he just won't eat as much of it as he should. I mean, I can't force him to eat it.
I'm sure someone will mention his teeth so I thought I'd beat you to it [emoji6] He was neutered approximately 3 weeks ago now and during the operation they did discover he had spurs from when he was being neglected before I 'rescued' him, however they did treat them so he shouldn't be having any issues with them now.
Any help, opinions or advise is welcomed as I am concerned that he is still not getting enough fibre. Thanks all. [emoji4]
PS I would 110% recommend buying from there as the products are fabulous and a real hit with all three of my bunnies, even fussy little Storm!
