Dried Forage

I agree with your thinking, which is why I still buy a wide variety of fresh so that they didn't go from a predominently fresh diet to a predominently dry one - and we still try to forage as much fresh as we can each day too, even if it is just grass and brambles. But I have to say I think Odin did better on a wild fresh diet than he does on a bought fresh diet, even with all the dried forage for variety. I guess wild is just better than commercially grown stuff.

I hate buying supermarket veg it’s always horrid round here & expensive. I have turnt my end of my garden into a veggie patch & all I grow is bunny food :lol: I grow yarrow, plantain, echinacea, mallow, I try to grow dandies but always unsuccessfully, mint, lemon balm, strawberry, parsley & chamomile. I planted a willow & apple tree too. Where I work full time I like having the selection here so I come home at lunch and dinner and grab a hand full of bits. I love forage walks and especially foraging for hawthorn when it’s all juicy in the spring. Roll on spring time!
 
Good points there :wave: I always have plenty of water available. As far as I know the main causes of stasis in my bunnies have been dental issues and eating cardboard causing a gut slowdown. I do feed mainly dried foods but some fresh foods too. I understand how you feel re the lack of confidence but I think its just one of those things :cry:

I hope my post wouldn’t put people off forage as that wasn’t my intention. Bunnies love it and there are many medicinal benefits. I think once you have had a stasis bun you analyse everything & anything

I know, they certainly do love it :love: and I know about the analysing thing, I’m the same!
