That sounds good. I know what each of those are to
Making a trip to pets at home for a few last play bits for hall that will be their Christmas presant tomrow. Is there any thing I can get from their at all or would people stay away from the forige there?
Yea Idk! It's often things that are "suitable" for Idk hammies, gerbils, and rabbits then you look and there's egg.. [emoji38] For hammies that's fine but not buns, really don't know why they do it. I've seen honey too in some. I really like these for bun treats, they sell them in pets at homeThanks graciee.
I have a very deep frown about the rabbits and eggs thing. Why?
Will make sure to look at the ingredients. Wanted to put it in a big box with lots of torn and scrunched paper and cardboard so they can dig for it
That’s just weird and if rabbits shouldn’t have it then it shouldn’t be sold as for rabbits.
I got so overwhelmed by all the **** in there and wanted natural things or one/two ingredient treats.
Got hay cookies, rose pettles with Timothy hay and some fenugreek cookies. Much more then I went in for lol but will last for ever.
Will go else where next time it’s just I left it till last minute as have been so busy lately.
Bramble leaves should be fine.
Whatever you feed the, only give small quantities at first of anything new. With such young rabbits, I would not be changing their diet at all for a week or two.
That sounds like a lovely combination I buy forage from natures own https://www.naturesownpets.co.uk/shop/page/2/?customer=animal it’s free delivery over £19.95 Frosty and Fern like the sweet green herb mixes, the dried 5 a day mix, the dried flowers mix and the dried marigolds. And the sweet green hay cookies too :thumb: I sprinkle it in with their hay :thumb:
They will only be getting a few of the rose pettles Christmas Day and that’s the only thing i would have given different. I’m going to wait a few days after and change there pellets to better quality ones. But I just feel such a meanie not giving them any thing for there first Xmas.
The rest is for much later.
This sounds brilliant will definantly be taking a look
You’ve given them the best gift any rabbit could wish for, a lovely home for Christmas yes, best to go slow with diet changes rather than risk upsetting their tummies, especially with babies.
They are very good, and most deliveries are next day too!
Something here might help?

And a very good book written by Twigs Way called 'Foraging for Rabbits' which can be purchased from the RWAF bookshop
A good all round Rabbit Diet from Medirabbit:

It’s just me I’m a giver and unless every one in the house gets some thing I’m not happy.
I know Zoobec iv had so much fun getting every thing and finding out new things and watching them ect I feel it’s more been for me and my daughter. Finishing off the hutch modifications later so they can have freedom in the hallway and then we can just sit with them so they can get to know us a bit better which will be nice and is the other part to Harliquin and Beauty’s presant.
I plan all new foods to be tiny amounts and gradually.
Although what I brought probably sounds a lot I don’t always have the money so I get treats and things when I can but the things like insurance food ect are all in the monthly budget
Thanks MightyMax. These will be useful in spring and summer when we visit the woods a lot. The pictures will enable us to gather fresh forige as I had no idea where to start.
Can I dry the things I collect and give them in the winter to or is that not a good idea.
I would just stick to a few Bramble leaves and a few Rose petals. Also when you have a bit of spare time you could look through this thread http://forums.rabbitrehome.org.uk/showthread.php?455755-my-foraging-diary
And also use it yourself next Spring if you need help with ID or whether a plant is OK for rabbits.
