Jack's doing my head in with his lack of interest in hay...! (And I'm only frustrated because I don't want him to get dental issues.)
He'd lived wild in gardens for two weeks, eating grass, vegetables (from a vegetable garden... though apparently he liked leeks which I don't think he's meant to have eaten) and lettuce thrown out for him. When he first came here, he ate his hay, any kind of hay, and did loads of perfect poops. Now he's lost interest in hay. He WILL eat it, if you sit and watch him and call him a good boy after each strand. :roll:
I bought one of those sample pack things from the Hay Experts... He shows slightly more interest in Alpine Meadow Hay. But he won't tuck into it with enthusiasm. I've honestly got about ten types of hay on hand, and it just sits in his cage. He looks disgusted when I offer him fresh grass.
He's going to be neutered next week (hopefully!) and he teeth will be looked at then, because he freaked when the vet tried to look at the start of this week. At a guess, he is a young bunny, under a year old and at a guess I'd say under 6 months. I want to make him eat hay so he doesn't have problems later on. :?
