I know everyone here read the title and is currently typing "THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR HAY!" or something like that. In my case I live in a third world country as an expat and got a bunny today from a market. I expected the store to have hay, but they did not. And before you suggest leaving the poor bunny there, know that she was out in the direct sun in 90 ish degree weather with only pellets and a water bottle in a tiny wire bottom cage with a sickly bunny. Luckily I must have gotten her pretty early as she seems to be fairly healthy other than mild sore hocks. When I got home I gave her cilantro and romaine lettuce, as well as some rabbit pellets that claims to have high fiber (and a water bowl). She is eating well so I know that she's OK for now, but I might not be able to find hay for a while. Are there any vegetable that can (for now) be a substitute for hay? Should I just feed grass? Thanks in advance!
