I am fostering a rescue bun that was taken from a hoarder. She was one of 114 buns who were severely neglected and starving and living on wire.
She got spayed 6 days ago and is doing well from that. She is extremely thin, and I don't know how old she is (but they are guessing less than a year, she's pretty tiny).
My job is to fatten her up. She is devouring timothy and oat hays, and lots of greens and apple slice treats. She doesn't know what pellets are and acts confused when I put them in her cage. In the meantime, do you think alfalfa will fatten her up? I have some fresh alfalfa hay from a local feed store and she really likes it, but I'm not sure if it will harm her if she gets too much. I know it's for baby bunnies, but until what age?
Thanks for any suggestions!
