New Kit
Hi! I've recently become the owner of a rabbit (who would have guessed?), whom I've named Orion. Not had a rabbit before but I've had 4 cats previously (no longer, Orion is the only animal here) so I'm sure I'm up to it, in fact I've had him only a week and he's already coming over to me for a pet when I open the cage and has graced me with binkies, which would be lovely, had it not been in the middle of the night [emoji23]
Anyway, my question is, so far apart from hay which he eats quite a lot of, and his allotment of pellets, he won't eat any veggies so far apart from salad cress and carrots, now seeing as carrots are high in sugar, or so I read, I don't give him then every day, a baby carrot every couple of days or so. But, I read online that feeding them cress, rocket and spinach is fine, so I had one of those salad mixes, which he took no notice of, I had to throw it out today since it'd gone off. But he would eat the cress, so I got one of those tiny bales you get in Sainsbury's, and he completely devoured the thing, so far he's had three of those little bales over four days, obviously I don't want to harm him, but it's the only green stuff he'll eat.
Is it safe to do this? Or have you got suggestions on other things I can feed him? Obviously I haven't experimented too much since he's not been here long.
Oh, I've tried a little bit of red cabbage and chicory which he also totally ignored.
Many thanks!
Rachel.
