I can't find much info online about the babies at this age and about hay specifically. They are 2 1/2 weeks old. I read that they will start nibbling pellets but have very sensitive stomachs right now so I think I will wait a little bit to give them access to those. But what about hay? I know I should be giving them alfalfa but how old should they be?
One grabbed a piece yesterday out of my rabbits cage and I took it from him cuz it was a big ol piece and he just seems too tiny for that! And should I still be giving the mother Timothy hay or should I give her alfalfa too?
Nursing seems to be taking a toll on her. I've been giving her unlimited pellets and hay and a cup or so of romain in the morning and at night. How long should I give her unlimited pellets?
I feel like she is eating ALOT. Her belly is getting fat but the rest of her looks terrible (and she has NO access to the male anymore, I have no idea how they got together in the first place!) also she seems to have a lot of extra cecals. Is that maybe a sign she's getting too many pellets? Or lettuce maybe?
Since I gave the babies a bigger area they all seem to be going to the bathroom in the same corner, is it too early to introduce a litter box?
I use unscented shredded Aspen bedding and I'm just worried about them nibbling on it since they are putting their little mouths on EVERYTHING! Any advice would be appreciated!!
