Three times now Astro has had difficulties with what I've been assuming is a blockage of some sort, and each time I've given him a little bit of pineapple juice. Within a few minutes, his pooping returned to normal, and he started eating his hay again. I'm currently trying to switch him to a healthier brand of pellets, and I've been slowly introducing him to different types of veggies, such as kale, parsley, and spinach. Normally, he eats a small dish of romaine lettuce twice day.
My third scare with him started last night, and lasted until this evening. The pineapple juice seemed to help him each time I gave it to him. He seems 100% himself now, munching on some fresh hay that I bought for him a couple of hours ago, even though he hasn't finished the other bag, yet.
I'm hesitant to use the "pineapple juice method" in the future, though, because of a thread I found about it, claiming that pineapple juice could have the opposite effect and should NOT be given to a rabbit. I'm curious as to what your opinions are?
