What dried forage does your rabbit really enjoy?

Yea! It gets slowly eaten.. Atticus and Clementine don't have it because Atticus and his stomach, but the white buns get it sometimes, I just got a hay experts order with the one with the forage in it, think its called 5 something, they don't mind it sometimes and I like to give variety, but the sweet green got used in trays, and there's another one in the garage waiting to be used [emoji38] it makes no sense really! They seem to like more stalky hay I've found, if I run out of hay there's only two in pets at home they really love, one's the alfalfa king timothy hay, and the other is a burgess one I think? But they do a few different ones, it's the one in the resealable bag.. So expensive though compared to Timothyhay.co.uk!
All buns are so different I guess
I meant I’ve always bought on line from Nature’s own :thumb: https://www.naturesownpets.co.uk there’s another one for your bun book marks :lol:
Just shows how different rabbits can be, just like us humans, they all have different tastes. F&F go wild for the sweet green hay :thumb:

This :thumb: mine quite liked the Alfalfa king Timothy but not as much as the sweet green or the Timothy hay from Timothyhay.co.uk. And they aren’t fussed by the burgess hay at all!
Yea we shouldn't be surprised really should we [emoji38][emoji38][emoji38]
I still can't get over how fussy Clementine is, some treats are just not her thing [emoji38] and some veggies and forage.. Whereas Atticus will eat anything you give him, even though he really shouldn't [emoji38] just makes me laugh you'll offer her something and she'll intently sniff it.. Then be like woaaahh you trying to poison me?! She looks at you like you've done something terrible then Atticus comes over and just eats whatever it is in one.. [emoji38]

And of course they can change their minds once you've bought a load :roll:

Yeah, we're really lucky! You could hang it like this in a sheet from, erm, somewhere?! I have no idea how that might work XD Mine don't have any preferences though, if it's dried and they're not getting fresh it's still better than hay!
I could hang a sheet off the shelves I have in the bedroom. Does it take long to dry?
Your lucky they don’t have a prefrance. We have only tried a few so far ( dandelion leaves and flowers, rose petals, mulberry leaf and parcley with celery) beauty eats it all although she is slower with the mulberry leaf and harlequin wont touch the mulberry. We mix it in their hay in the evning so it stops them being board at night.
Couple of handfuls for my white buns to share
I mix lots of stuff together then do handfuls of that.

I don't buy dried forage for my rabbits, but when they get some as a pressie, a couple of handfuls counts as a meal between all of them.
I don't give forage in addition to meals. Meaniebags me :lol:
What do you class as meals?
Apart from when they are fast asleep, I think my rabbits consider they are enjoying one long meal each day :lol:

I put a large handful in each litter tray as a hay topper when they are cleaned out each morning, then they'll have equivalent to a small handful per bunny late evening.
They never appreciate dried stuff as much as fresh. Hogweed crispies are one exception . I feed huge piles of fresh once its available, probably too much, I may cut back this year

Thanks all- that’s really helpful. Will feed them a handful. I’d love to find fresh forage but I’m petrified of feeding them the wrong thing. I even worry when I feed them a dandelion!!
MightyMax- by meal, I assume you mean pellets/ greens/ herbs? Although do agree with Omi, my rabbits thing they’ve got one giant fat meal!
