New Food

[Savannah1687]

I just got Rabbit some new food because Icouldn't find the other kind she had been eating. All the ingredientsand %'s are exactly the same but the pellets are a little smaller soshe knows its different and refuses to eat them. If I leave them in hercage long enough do you think she'll start eating them?

Is the other food completely gone?Ideally you should introduce new foods slowly. If you don'thave any more of the old food, you could try mixing in something elseshe likes, but don't let her just pick that out.

The old food is completely gone or I would haveweaned her off it by mixing the two. I'll try mixing some small piecesof hay in with the pellets.

If she usually gets veggies, I would definatelymake sure she's getting those, maybe chop them up and mix them with thepellets. Maybe some banana. Whatever you do, makesure to keep a close eye on the level and see if anydisappears. If she still isn't eating in the morning, I'dadvise you go look for some other pellets, maybe not the samepercentages, but it's better to have her eating something iwith say toomuch protien than not at all, right.

You can try to mix them in with some canned pumpkin. Once she sees that they are tasty then she probably will be okay with them.
