:bunnybutt:My bunny Diggs has been eating too many of the wrong type of pellets for his whole life. I got new Oxbow timothy pellets from my vet and I'm trying to mix them together, slowly reducing the old ones. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now (since I got him) and he is still picking out only the old ones out of the bowl! When he goes and eats right after I fill the bowl, I see that he has only eaten the old ones. Even if I mix them up really well! When I just leave the bowl out, though, he eventually finishes. Sometimes he pushes the bowl around, a couple times even out of the cage making a mess, when he was finished with his favourites. I was thinking of starting to give him only the new ones in the bowl, and giving the old ones as treats I can give out often... or should I keep mixing until the old ones are gone? (this might make him angry not getting his favourites for breakfast!) They are Martin rabbit pellets with yucca extract.
