My netherland is about... 4 1/2 years old. He has been in perfect health until now, no teeth issues or anything like that.
I noticed that he hasn't been eating much. He never really did anyway, but I just noticed that there is more and more left over pellets. He looked absolutely fine until I picked him up and noticed that he has in fact lost a bit of weight.
I figured that I was going to a 4-H show anyway the next day so I would ask fellow breeder friends there.
One lady told me to give him pineapple juice and some oats and said he might have a hairball or something. I thought we had some juice, but I can't seem to find it..While at the show though, they had a raffle and I ended up winning a bunny treat with oats, sunflower seeds and some sort of pellets inside. Smells pretty good. lol
When I got home I went out to him and put some of the treat in my hand and he started to eat it. He really liked it so I put some more in his bowl so he would eat something at least... I don't know why he wasnt eatingthe regular pellets...he ate ALL of the oats, sunflower seeds and whatever type of pellet was in the treat. He drinks his water too...
So what do I do now?
