I bought a bag of SS for Smudge today, and put a few pellets in his bowl with his other food. He immediately picked out the SS, and won't touch anything else. We have just had to move the bag as he isnicking it out of the bag. He obviously loves it, but I do know that he has to be weaned onto it and I am concerned he wont be getting much to eat if he is just picking out the few pellets I give him.
Can anyone recommend anything?

( His check at the vets all went well.)
 
I have put 6 of my new rabbits straight onto science selective, as the rescues forgot to give me any of their mix - None had the slightest problem and they all went mad for it! It contains a probiotic, so maybe that helped settle their tums.
 
Ok Thanks for that Elve. I was just a bit concerned cos I have read in numerous places that they should be weaned onto it.
The little mite is going nuts for it. :lol:
 
:lol: as long as he has plenty of hay, he won't starve despite what he may tell you :D Feed the graduallly increasing amounts per day and it doesn't really matter if he eats the other pellets to or not he'll top up on the difference in hay.

Elve - it's probably all the hay they eat :) If they don't have many pellets then there isn't really much difference between giving them a few new and old to just giving them a few new.
