Is it normal for a rabbit not to eat loads after getting dental done?

Have you tried Timothyhay.co.uk hay? They will send you a sample if you ask, they do some soft hay - my buns all go nuts for their hay [emoji7]

I'll definitely be trying that soon as I see it's popular on here. Really hope Toasty will like it fingers crossed. It's great that they do samples, wish I had known about this website a couple of months ago, would of saved a lot of money on hay.
 
Thanks for the suggestions Zoobec, Do you mix all the hays together? I'll definitely be trying each one to see which one Toasty likes. I just received my pet camera today and it's so cute it has a little dog head over the camera. I didn't know how ideal this was, totally regret not getting it before!

Some people mix different hay together but I normally feed a couple of different types at a time, 1 in each hay rack. It’s a great idea to get samples:thumb:
 
The Ings hay from hayandstraw.co.uk is also very popular with bunnies, and they also do samples.

I always have the different hays in different trays as it makes it easier to see which ones they prefer.

Thanks Jane, only one of his eyes are quite watery sometimes with a bit of white milky fluid in it. I dab a bit of tissue on it and then put the chlorophenical eye drop in it. The vet did mention that his tear duct is very small over the phone. I'm going to try the eye drops for a couple of days and see how that goes. I'm going to make a checkup appointment for him this week. The other eye isn't runny at the moment but it is just a tiny bit watery I noticed with a little crust in the inner corner of his eye. Today his poo was much better and I noticed a little increase in his poo output a he's eating better than before so I'm relieved about that. Although I do see him sniff around his hay and not eat it then eat the short strands. Is there any hay that you would recommend?

As Gracie suggested you could contact https://www.timothyhay.co.uk/ and ask them if they could send you a sample of their hay types. Their online shop is closed til 8th January though.

I have yet to know a Bunny who wont at least try this hay
https://www.petsathome.com/shop/en/pets/timothy-hay-with-carrot-and-apple-1kg

unfortunately it only seems to be Pets at Home that Stock it.


The Hay Experts do a good range of hays, including this trial selection https://www.thehayexperts.co.uk/taster-selection-pack.html

Have you tried him with Readigrass

Thanks for the suggestions Jane, no I haven't bought any hay from Readigrass before or any online store of that matter. I certainly will be ordering samples :D. I was wondering if you've bought the apple and carrot hay from Pets at home recently, I was reading the reviews and a few commented that the texture had changed as the hay is brown. I wonder if this is true.

Hay will always vary slightly in colour depending on the time of year. I have been given some of the Woodlands C + A Hay for Xmas (well, my Rabbits have !!) and it is darkish green. All 6 of my Rabbits scoffed the entire bag in less than a day :roll: :lol:
