Alpha Buck
Just read in an old thread that carrots are not the best veggie for a bunny.
this might help me!!!
Buddy doesnt eat anything practically.
All mixes are left or picked at he does pick more at Alpha herbal more than others, as is burgess supa rabbit excel.
I finally found that he does eat some supa guinnea excel. so now hes on that as a main diet.
I cant even force feed ANY kind of grass or hay and believe me I have tried them all. starvation wont even make him eat it!! LOL
ive tried other fruit and veg and this is the outcome:
he will eat dwarf corn (not any other type of corn)
he will eat bread (but not toast or crusts)
he will eat baby leaf greens (but no other form of cabbage or broccoli etc)
he will eat a carrot (only if it is wedged in the bars - once it has fallen out he doesnt touch it)
I see that herbs are good for them so they are on my shopping list! they are the 1 thing i havent tried.
Now vets have said that he is fussy and if he is hungry he will eat hay and other veggies. but he won't and i have tried, he would sooner starve.
Now the problem i have is his poos are always very hard and small on supa guinnea exel. as soon as he has anything else (as mentioned above) even in v small quantities it goes very runny and stodgy.
He also has deformed back teeth which do not meet at all so grinding is not happening at all, he has them rasped about every 4-6 months. so i know the importance of trying to get him on hay etc but no go!!
Please help!!!! any advice would be greatly appreciated!!:bunny:
