I adopted Lola (a 3-year-old Mini Lop, weighing 5.5 pounds) on Friday. In that time, I have realized she hates both hay and pellets, but she hates the hay more. In her foster home, she was given 1/2 cup of pellets, making her pellets unlimited because she only will eat a few when she gets hungry. Earlier today, I gave both of the bunnies 1/8 cup of pellets and while Bugs scarfed them down within an hour, most of hers are still in the bowl. She doesn't eat hay because when she's hungry she goes to eat a couple of pellets. Because she doesn't like pellets, she won't miss them. So she doesn't get jealous when I give Bugs his, I will give her some herbs. I will consider introducing them back into her diet when she is a bigger hay eater. Buying the highest quality hay is the last resort for me because I don't have the money for that.
Do you recommend I take them out? She also is getting 2 cups a day of veggies despite her size to help with her hay intake. That will be increased when she's eating more hay.
