Hey guys. I am currently transitioning my rabbits from alfalfa based Purina to timothy based Oxbow.
So far, two of my three rabbits hate the pellets. But I am sure they will warm up to them.
What I am concerned about is the fact I bought 25 pounds of Mountain Grass (Orchard) hay and the same two bunnies (Chewy and Anakin, bonded) and they wont eat it, and it is the only hay I have.
The only hay local to me is Orchard, Timothy, and Alfalfa. If the pellet (Which they are only getting 1/4 of a cup a day of) is timothy based, do I have to feed another type of hay?
I was thinking I could still use Timothy as a staple, but add sweeter hays like oat and teef (binkbunny.com). They are sold in small quantities, so ordering them by themselves as a staple is costly, but as treats I could do.
Or do you think they will eventually turn to the Mountain Grass?
Thanks for your advice!
