So, I give N&T:
*an eggcupfull of pellets most days, sometimes I skip a day or two here and there.
*max 2 treats each a day (handmade or fenugreeks)
*unlimited fresh hay which is green and lushious usually. They have 2 indoor litter trays like this:
and a clear outdoors box which I fill with hay and they love to sit and munch in it. They only can access this in the day between 9am and about 12 at night.
I also give them about this, twice a day:
So that's 3 small cabbage leaves (usually savoy but I often have another type to mix in), a spring green leaf, a cauliflower leaf, a few sprouts and a handful of parsley and coriander. They often get small bits of parsnip or carrot, about once every 3 days. Celery leaves and small cuttings about twice a week, broccoli stalks about twice a week too.
I'm worried about the amount and the type of veg I give. I'm slowly cutting it down but they are very active rabbits, with a 6 x 5 shed and two runs (6x4 and 8x3).
I'm worried predominantly about the amount of gas-causing foods there. Nena has a grumbly tummy about once a week, although it doesnt seem to affect her. She had gut stasis once, about 6 weeks ago.
Not sure really what I can feed to help replace the cabbage, spring greens and cauliflower leaf with non-gas causing ones, as I don't want to risk them getting a gassy tummy leading to stasis. They love their herbs (only those two), but I don't want to give any more of those as I believe it has a lot of calcium in it?
There isn't really anywhere to forage around here, everywhere has dogs walking over it and cars near it. I'm not confident and I'd rather buy stuff than risk it tbh. Growing stuff is not really an option as my mom doesn't like stuff around. Any suggestions?
