Hi all,
New to the forum, and enjoying all your posts -especially the different DIY cages! They are awesome.
My Flemish Giant doe is four months old and I cannot find a veggie that doesn't soften up her stools. Dandelion greens seem to be the easiest for her to digest but we are running out of them!
I have tried:
-cucumber
-kale
-yellow squash
-dandelion greens/flowers (seems to tolerate these best)
-carrot tops only
-celery
-beet tops
-parsley
-cilantro
I've introduced a small amount, one at a time, stopping after soft stools, not introducing the next veggie until stool is normal-- and everything makes her stools soft!!
So she is basically eating pellets (one scoop in the morning) and lots of fresh timothy hay (though I'm wondering if I should get some alfalfa, as I've read that it's better for youngsters).
Should I just stop with the veggies and wait until she's older? Six months?
What veggies have you had success with with young rabbits?
thanks!!
