Hope won't eat!

Young Bun
Since I got my new bunny 3 weeks ago, Hope won't eat her dry food, all she will take is kale and hay! She was at the vet yesterday and she is healthy enough, has anyone else had this trouble?
 
Hi Eve, Hope is on Johnsons premium dried food. She has been on that for ages. I think her nose is out of joint with the new bunny! As I say, the vet says she is healthy, but it still doesn't stop you worrying right? I have tried hiding her food and making it a game. She WILL take treats from me and she is taking her hay and kale.
 
OH i thought you meant the new bunny! i have the sort of same problem with the johnson, i have just got rocket and he was on that johnson (and i dont mean to offend but that mix is ****, its one of the worst i have seen!
and he doesnt appear to eat much of it, but i am putting that down to the fact he has had a stressful week!

i dont know why you bunny wont eat it, i have never had problem with eaters as my lot are all pigs! :lol:

but i would suguest getting your bunny off that johnson, if my rocket doesnt start eatting his ss he is gonna starve because i dont know anywhere round her that sells it!

sorry i could be much help

Thanks Eve :D I used to always feed hope on Suparabbit excel, but then I was told that too much of that isn't good for them! Ahh, what do you do for the best? I'll go to the petshop today and try something different. Do you use any dried food which has seeds in it?
