I've not known a rabbit dislike SS!
It's also easy to get hold of.

What about feeding her a handful of Readigrass a day instead if grass is all you want from a pellet feed My 6 get Readigrass.

No it's not grass that I want from a pellet feed really. I use pellets for two reasons. Firstly to hand feed to Tui to get her more confident with me. I thought this would be sensible *if* I ever get to the stage of bonding her with another rabbit. And secondly to coax her into different areas of her accommodation. SS works very well for both of those. She'll happily climb over my legs now to get a pellet and also instantly come when called to where I want her to be. I can cut her grass most of the year too from the garden. She still has some most days.
The reason I was considering the Haybox pellets is mainly that I was considering her hay and realised that to buy the 10kgs size meant that you were 1p under the delivery free option and I wouldn't want to try a larger quantity without knowing she would eat it. It's also not as though we have other bunnies to feed it to if she didn'tSo I considered adding the pellets to the order as they are possibly healthier than SS, although the quantity she has means this is not an important factor.
Anyway I decided late last night to stick to what I know and have ordered her previously-liked stalky Timothy from timothyhay.co.uk. The issue with the delivery charge with Haybox also is deliberate and I find that annoying.
I've very happy with her weight (4.5kgs). She gets no treats of any sort other than the pellets. Sometimes it's best probably to keep to what works and what she is happy with.
Ah, I see. I got the wrong end of the stick. Very unlike me, I knowNo it's not grass that I want from a pellet feed really. I use pellets for two reasons.

It was me looking for grass pellets - I jumped in on the thread cos it looked to be the way it was going, and therefore useful to me and chronic UTI bunny who can't have standard pellets but is struggling to maintain weight on hay & forage - plus it's going to be more difficult in winter without bribes of some sort. So I probably confused the issue.Ah, I see. I got the wrong end of the stick. Very unlike me, I know
Haha no, no need forIt was me looking for grass pellets - I jumped in on the thread cos it looked to be the way it was going, and therefore useful to me and chronic UTI bunny who can't have standard pellets but is struggling to maintain weight on hay & forage - plus it's going to be more difficult in winter without bribes of some sort.

Have you considered trying your bun with something like the Supreme Vetcare Urinary Tract food https://supremepetfoods.com/products...-tract-health/ I haven't tried them, so no idea how yummy they would be. But might be better for maintaining weight than just a grass pellet.

It takes very little to confuse me
