Hi everyone,
Our little guy is now going on 2 years (March). He has been the best thing ever to me specifically especially working from home during this crazy world we live in.
I was just curious if our bunny is getting enough food. I know animals typically always feel like they've never seen food before so he runs every time I take it out for him. I was providing him with 2 cups of the pebbles (kaykee), hay, lettuce and bananas. This is daily and I thought maybe I was giving him too many pebbles so I reduced it to once per day. He has lettuce almost 3 times a day (it's pre-washed) and when we took him to a vet they said continue what we're doing because he's well hydrated since the lettuce gives him water although he has separate water which he drinks as well. I noticed he does not care for hay though or maybe he does and he eats it whenever he wants. He loves his lettuce that's for sure.
I am just worried should I go back to giving him his pebbles 2 times a day (afternoon and evening)? At night when we're hanging out he's bouncing around, he also lays across my carpet when he's content and relaxed so I feel he's fine but thought I'd ask.
The hay is a wonder for me. He does eat it but barely. I remember reading on a package that the diet should consist of 70% hay.
Thank you for looking.
