Hi everyone my name is javier and ive had my netherland dwarf chester for 6 months and just got a 6 week old (same breed) named ella. I hope to learn alot here and have as much fun with my little guys as possible while keeping their health in mind =]. ive been googling this question for a while and cant seem to find the answer so...

Can i feed ella timothy based pellets? i read that they are much better than the alfalfa based ones especially as the rabbit gets older. if this is true, than will it be okay to switch to the timothy based one or stick to Alfalfa?
 
@hartleybun i actually didnt even know there was more to see thanks!

@nancy i kept seeing that but wasnt sure because after that it would say that alfalfa made bunnies fat. so my older one gets timothy based and the baby stick to alfalfa for a bit.
 
Ella will need alfalfa hay too. If you go to main page (home)there is a library section to find everything you need to know about feeding. :)




 
I was reading your other post....

Baby Ellaneeds alfalfa pellets unlimitedand alfalfa & timothyhay unlimited. Your older bun could stay on Timothy. I used Oxbow 15/23 for my babies.
 
@sweetsassy okay so put ella on unlimited supply of pellets and hay (both being alfalfa and the hay mixed with timothy) and keep chester on the timothy pellets/hay. that sounds simple enough. =] thanks alot guys for the quick responses.
 
grr.. chester's being a butthead. he wont eat his hay...should i just not give him the pellets till he starts eating again? (they are the unhealthy kind which i already got a replacement bag for and will start acclimating him to it as soon as he starts eating the t-hay)
 
You may want to write this in the infirmary. Chestermay not be feeling well or he could just be filling up on pellets. Write what your feeding him and how much and what he's doing in the Infirmary Section. If you haven't arent. ;)
 
Let me welcome you to Rabbits Online, my name is Dave and I am a moderator on the forum. So if I can be of any help please let me know. This is a terrific website for rabbits and their slaves, not only is it very active but also friendly. I am so glad you’re here and I know you will enjoy it.

Many bunny's recommend their slaves to this site so we may learn of others methods to keeping our furry masters happy.

If you everhave a sick bunny, please post in The Infirmary and include your rabbit's age, breed and health history as well diet and output details leading up to the problem.

I have listed some links I thought you might find interesting:

*For reference the Library section

*To brag or tell everyone about the antics of your bunny or just to talk about your day here is where to start a Bunny Blog, you can also look back at it later and remember when you had a life before your bunny.

*Now all the bunny’s like talk to each other when we mere slaves aren’t around in the Bunny Chat is the spot to be.

*Rabbits Online also has regional forums , this a good way to find a vet in your area that has experience with rabbits and to find out from other nearby of good sources of rabbit supplies.

The Let Your Hare Down section is for anything non-bunny related.

Here is a link tothat will help you and your bunny to connect, How To Bond With Your Bunny.

Now every forum has rules and ours can be found with this link Rabbits Online Forum Rules. This gives guidelines on what is acceptable, what is not and how we hope everyone will treat each other.

Everyone on this forum loves to see pictures of each other’s bunnies. So if you would like to post a picture this link will help you do that, Upload Photo's to Photo Gallery. Then in the post, you click on the "G" in the tool bar to insert your photo. Many people also use Photobucket. You just copy the img file and paste it into the post.

I am glad you have joined rabbits online and I look forward to seeing you around.
