Mine's been leaving his spring greens for a month or so now, but still eats everything else in sight. Sometimes it takes him all day just to eat one leaf, and other days he doesn't even finish that, when before he'd have 2 or 3 and eat them as soon as given to him. I just thought he must be getting bored of having them every day :lol:
I'm refusing some of the spring greens I'm buying myself! It's not great quality at the moment, so that's probably why.
Wild rabbits don't get hay deliveries through winter. They have to continue foraging as normal. I admit I don't bother putting grass in to mine at the moment but that's mainly because it's frozen, there's little goodness in it and they aren't bothered. But if they were living wild, they would - they'd just have to eat more of it - and there are plenty of weeds hugging the ground so they'd just require a bit of close gnawing. And supplement with any leaves available, bark, etc.I thinkit must be quite natural for them to not have fresh veg in winter as it's not naturally available anyway.

Mine are still enthusiastic for the dark leaves of Savoy cabbage and the like.
