So I adopted a female mix bun today. She's been looking for a home for awhile. And I've been watching her awhile.(Knowing she's supposed to be in my home.) You just know.
Anyways the pet store that was looking after her for the rescue society was feeding WAY too many pellets. About 2 cups a day. Basically they filled her dish when it was empty. As well as 2 med carrots half an apple and a few leaves of romaine lettuce. That's was her daily diet. Anyways she's 15 pounds and looks pregnant. her coat is bristly and light (meaning no under coat.) not dense and plushy like it's supposed to be. She saw a vet a few weeks ago for an check up, Apparently there was no mention that she may be over weight.(the shop attendant didn't have that information) Either way. With the information I have. How would I safely go about putting her on a diet? And would I introduce hay slowly or let her go to town on some timothy? I don't want to feed her 2 cups of pellets a day. Help? best guess on breeds maybe an American maybe some flem. They say she's a year old. Don't know rabbits well enough to agree or disagree with that. Muchly appreciated.
