Just wondering how slowly I should introduce grass into Fergies diet?
He's a 1.5yo house rabbit, and he's never eaten grass with me - he might have nibbled a bit as a baby but I'm not 100% on that
I've grown some really good cat and normal grass in a big tray for him so he can have a graze and a dig (planning on getting another few trays to rotate now I know it grows well!) and I've just started introducing him.
I've been cutting off a little bit each day, probably less than a quarter of a handful and giving him it with breakfast and he's had this sort of amount for about 4 days with all poos normal etc. so I'm planning on keeping it at this amount for another few days before I increase the amount
How long should I keep giving him limited amounts for? I can't wait for him to sit in the tray and nom away but definitely don't want any tummy problems! I was planning on restricting it for about a month (increasing amounts weekly) before I let him munch away but wondered if I should do it for longer (or shorter!)?
He's an absolute grass fiend now, he's like a proper rabbit haha
