Humperdink the mini lop is almost 10 weeks. I read that baby rabbits should have unlimited hay and pellets. Well, Humperdink definitely takes advantage of the all you can eat buffet. :eats:He is eating alfalfa hay mixed with Timothy in one "hay ball" fill up, then Timothy the rest of the day. We usually fill up his hay ball 3 times a day, whenever it's empty. Then there's the pellets...he eats Purina Show and we started out giving him 1/3 cup, now have gone up to 1/2 cup. My husband fed him twice yesterday and then when I got home last night, his bowl was empty, so I fed him again. He has no treats because he's too young still. He does nibble on his straw hidey hut from time to time.
I want him to be healthy and will feed him as much as he needs. He is certainly a growing boy and we are amazed at how much bigger he is since he came home with us. I just don't want him to end up being overweight or have a difficult time with him transitioning away from the all you can eat deal.
Input...ideas...?
