Well overnight he's done plenty of poos. Not eaten any pellets. Eaten most of the veg we have given him.
He's a funny bunny. Won't eat any of the selection of softened pellets I've prepared him, but will eat a hard crunchy rosewood snap and share vegetable bar!!!
A bun with attitude will go far
Glad to hear this Lavinia Jack's-Jane

He figures that he may aswell milk this 'let him eat what he wants' treatment for as long as possible !! I hope he continues to recover well xx

haha well he's certainly got attitude!Glad to see that Binky is improving
Thank you!
I think you are right there. Ordered more yesterday which should be arriving today!! Haha I'm under the paw I think!
So I've realised that my rascal doesn't poo much if at all during the day then does loads in the evening/night time. He ate a few pellets last night and yesterday we syringe fed him at midnight and hen not again until 6:30 so we got a good amount of uninterrupted sleep which was amazing.
I've bought some muesli food which is arriving today to see if he will eat that. My worry is he's not eating enough himself to keep him going and even though it goes against everything I know, muesli is the only food I've not tried him with. And given he enjoys his treats I'm hoping that he will take to muesli more than the harder pellets.
Also wondering if I can start bonding him again soon. Him and coco will lay next to each other and kiss and groom a bit through the bars. I just don't want to stress him. But I'm off this week so would be a good time to give it a go again. Not sure though, I'm so conflicted! My husband jokes that everything is Binky at the moment. I think he's right.

Too often true with rabbits, isn't it? :lol:
Well this morning I'm pretty happy. The muesli food arrived yesterday and I left a bowl with some in and his beloved guinea pig pellets roll and this morning the bowl is practically empty!!! Albeit I didn't put much in there! He had 21g I think. Didn't want to over face him!
I've refilled it and the cheeky boy was eating it whilst I was trying to weigh it. (To keep track of if he's eating it)
Hopefully we are over the worst of it for now. We are going to omit the syringe feed this morning now he's eating more and showing an interest in food.
