I got new hay for Blossom and Thumper and they're barely touching it. I tried putting some foraging mix on it but they only ate the mix so what else can I do to get them to eat it?
Bermuda grass hay and we had Oxbow timothy hay but we can't afford Oxbow right nowWhat kind of hay did you switch them too? What kind were they originally on? You may need to mix the types to get them to eat it. Bunnies are picky![]()
It looks fresh, it's green and soft and smells good to me. I got it off of Chewy.com so it should be good. Next time I'll try Tractor SupplyIs the hay fresh and green? Bermuda is rarely rejected by buns since it is so tender. Usually it's the transition off of alfalfa (which is not a grass hay) that can be difficult. The various grass hays are generally interchangeable. That's why I wondered if something is off with the Bermuda you have? Some rabbits tend to be more choosey, though.
If it's just that they want timothy, the brand is irrelevant. Maybe try local feed stores.
Ok, I'll try that right nowYou can try dumping some of their pellets in it.
I did it and Blossom ate hers! Thumper just pushed hay aside to eat the pelletsYou can try dumping some of their pellets in it.
I'd be interested in the same advice. Our rabbit is super picky & even refuses hay from the same brand when it differs in quality. I'm in Australia and at the moment it is not easy sourcing the brand he likes.I got new hay for Blossom and Thumper and they're barely touching it.

I’d recommend starting your own thread. You’ll probably get more help.I'd be interested in the same advice. Our rabbit is super picky & even refuses hay from the same brand when it differs in quality. I'm in Australia and at the moment it is not easy sourcing the brand he likes.
