Hey everyone! We've had our new bunny now for acouple days and I know it takes them awhile to adjust and get back into their "normal" habits, but my bun (Dove) doesn't seem to be interested at all in eating her hay. Tt's not store bought we get ours from a farm and its a mix of all types made just for buns (bournefreefarms). She will eat her greens no problem and wont even LOOK at her pellets! I get her the martins less active ones.
Also she is/was litter trained but she wont go to the washroom at ALL in her cage, we have a nice sized litter box and we use wood stove pellets (same type as rescue) and I placed both hay and some greens in it and she wont even look at it. Which is causing her not to go to the bathroom at all. The only time she went to the washroom was when she was out of her cage and on my boyfriends pillow. She went a lot as well.
So are there any suggestions as to get her to go in the litter box or at all? is it just getting used to the place and she will get back in tune with time? and how long did it take for your buns to get used to their new home?
Mind you she isn't nervous she's used to us, she binkys up a storm and loves to be petted, so discomfort and anxiety I don't believe is the case. Also the rescue told us she doesn't drink a lot of water and could that reflect the amount of hay she eats?
Thanks everyone!
