My buns don't seem to care for the canned pumpkin :S However, I've noticed with Bonny that a leaf or 2 of romaine lettuce seems to do the trick.

Question: just to be clear... when molting ( I believe I read that high humidity, changes in enviornment ( bringing new bunnies in, moving cages, getting them out of their normal routine) can bring on a molt?) Also, bigger than normal poops, moist and hair attached = 'hairballs'? Is this a time to give the Sim. drops as preventative as well as increasing the roughage?

Fructose is a natural sugar in fruits. So although there are no "added" sugars in Oxbow paypaya, the tablets still do contain sugar (fructose) according to some Oxbow sites.

Yes, that's what I meant...no sugar added...just the sugar that is naturally in the fruit itself. The human ones (at least the ones I've seen) have sugar added to the already sugary fruit.

Yes, when the rabbit is experiencing any stress factors, it's time to kick up the roughage dark, leafy greens & hay. Rabbit breeders also use electrolytes in the watersuch as Acid Pac. I wouldn't toss additional sugar into the mix, so I'd avoid fruits and forgo the papaya.

I also use Nutri Cal when rabbits are off their feed.
