Bunbuns' diet

[~BunBuns~]

Bunbuns currently eats alfalfa hay only with veggies in the morning and evening and an alfalfa based pellet.. should i change him over from alfalfa to timothy hay? or change his pellets?

Hi April, how old is Bunbuns? He's quite a small guy right? My 5 month old dwarf girl, I would be swapping to a timothy based pellets about now if we had any available in my country.

You should probably be switching him over to Timothy hay and pellets soon, make sure its gradual and all that jazz.

Just moved this into the nutrition and behaviour section .

I agree, probably time to switch to a grass hay like timothy and to start gradually switching to a timothy based pellet. I use Martins Little Friends 'Less Active' pellet. Don't mind the name of Less Active, my guys are all very active, it's just a timothy based rather than an alfalfa based. Oxbow Bunny Basics T is also a great pellet!

Yup, I would definately switch the hay. You might be able to keep him on his current pellets depending on whether he is overweight, having excess cecals, or seems to have really chalky pee all the time.

What brand of pellets are you feeding? Some aren't too bad for adults while others are super rich.
