Hello folks,
My lovely Cream is enjoying life to the brim, with a large shed, run and enclosed lawn area to herself for much of the day. However, I have a slight doubt that I was hoping you could share your thoughts on. Cream eats relentlessly! When she is out on the lawn, she will chew ceaselessly on the grass, any raspberry/mint leaf cuttings we give her, etc. When she is in her box, she will continue muching hay. I know that rabbits need to eat pretty constantly, but it still makes me think whether she is eating too much! Also, exercise - when she gets to go to the lawn and will binky or dash around now and then, but mostly takes it easy, sitting around or hopping gently. So I wonder if she gets enough exercise, and whether I should be trying something else to get her to exercise.
Trying to avoid an obese, even if content, rabbit! Grateful for any advice.
