Hi! My rabbits have a high hay diet. I get the english timothy from dustfreehay.
I took my rabbits for their jabs today and the vet said the one has sharp bits on the back teeth (but no sores or irritation visible) and to increase hay further. He said by cutting back on pellets and if that doesnt work then transition to a straw diet. As far as i know rabbits dont eat straw. So im a bit worried about that suggestion.
I can reduce pellets, i can also scrap veg and just forage for willow and hawthorn now that it is available.
Both my rabbits are dwarf lops one slightly more boxy face which is the one with the sharper back teeth. And she has had him grind her teeth before under a general, when she had a fatty lump removed, so again no irritation but they did it as she was under anyway. Id rather avoid too many generals if not necessary.
Anyone had any similar issues or suggestions?
