9 week old - only eating hay

[k.mdaniels]

My little Sammy is only nine weeks old. He only seems to be eating Hay at the moment. We got him a week ago and he was eating the pellets but the past 2-3 days I havent seen him eating any. I keep two rabbits in the same hutch, the pellets do seem to be getting eaten everyday but I've seen Leon eat them and not Sammy.
Can I try him with something else?

I would take him to the vet in case he has a problem with his teeth.
It might be best to take them both and get the vet to check the sex of them to make sure they are both boys otherwise you could end up with loads of babies!
You may also want to discuss neutering when they are old enough as they may start fighting when the hormones kick in around 4 months old.

I agree with Estelle. Pop him round to your vet and have him checked out. He should have a good appetite at such a young age, and the fact that he was eating them before but refusing now is a worry. Do you have a good vet? I.e. one who is used to dealing with rabbits?
