I am trying to advise someone who is new to rabbits. Can you help me please!
Firstly, Charlie (about 4+ months old) has recently passed orange wee. She has not altered his diet. In my experience this can be normal. Also from reading these forums I gather this can be normal. Not sure why if there is no diet change though? In all other respects he is fine.
My friend is also concerned about feeding Charlie adult excel at 4+ months old (hence the 'when is a rabbit adult' query earlier on). The junior version was out of stock when she started feeding Charlie on excel - a few weeks ago. Is this okay at his age?
Secondly, Smudge and Fudge (about 1 year old) are fed 2 bowls full of excel pellets per day. I think this is quite a lot (certainly compared to the amount I feed). My friend is quite willing to cut down - and continue to provide good quality hay. Is this advisable?
Lastly, Charlie sprays all over his hutch! How likely is this to stop once he has been spayed?
Thanks in advance
