Hi all,
So took our two 3yo mini lops to vet for their annual innoculations and vet mentioned they have slight spurs, asked about their diet and whether they were given pellets. When I replied that I did but only a small amount I was told I should cut them to a bare minimum as it is like giving them chocolate.
Our rabbits are around 1.8 and 2.3kg and get 15g of pellets a day which is well under the 30g per kg stated. Most (like 90%) of their diet is TimHay with some green vegetables and I considered the pellets quite modest. I have read some of the advice posted on here and while we could get a little more varied I have not seen anything which suggests pellets are quite as 'unhealthy' as the vet suggested.
Should I stop pellets entirely?
