Am i doing something wrong?

[Selena RD]

Hi I'm a owner of 12 bunnys and i have a 3 year old a 2 year old and 8 1 year olds and 2 that are 12 weeks and this year the girl 2 years old got a gi and the next 2 days the girl 1 year old got a gi then a 1 year old boy got a gi a week later then the 2 year old girl got a gi again a week later then a 1 year old girl got a uti and now the same 1 year old boy has it. So am i doing something wrong in their diet? And their diet is

At morning a mix of either of these 3

Kale Bok choy spinach parsley Bell peppers celery romaine lettuce

Then at night it's just a full cliantro for the bigger ones then a half for the smaller ones and every once in awhile pellets and unlimited oxbow hay and once a week a fruit and 3 are neutered and i already saved to get 4 more bunnys done and because they haven't got neutered or spayed they have it a lot? Because the 3 boy that are neutered haven't got it so could that be a problem or is it normal to get that many that many times? And they all have a 49 inch cage and sometimes play outside

I'm not familiar with the gi abbreviation, so I'm assuming it's gut related, sorry! Like GI stasis?

Did you slowly introduce these vegetables to each of their diet? Variety is great, but even within rabbit-safe vegetables, some rabbits may not tolerate them all. For example, my rabbit cannot tolerate parsley very well.

If you're seeing a lot of recurring stomach-related issues, consider simplifying the diet and focusing more on making sure they're eating more hay than anything else. It will help reset and give their stomachs time to recover. Hay is what's most important for a rabbit's diet. It should always be available, and because it's so important, pay attention if they're actually eating a lot of it. They may not for various reasons, so it's important to understand how much they're eating and if it is not that much, how can that be increased.

With the UTIs, I wonder about the set up of your rabbits' toilet areas. Can you describe them and how often they're cleaned? I also think about hydration. How many water sources do they have?

Celery is not good for rabbits. It has too high of a water content, and the strings are hard to digest and can cause "hair balls." John has great advice. If you start out with something you know they can tolerate, like Romaine, then slowly add other vegetables, one new one every couple of weeks, you should be able to tell which ones your rabbit can tolerate.

Yes i mean Gi stasis, and i introduced them all in one every week thing already and i had these bunny for already 4 months and some 9 months but i just got the the 12 week ones and they have a bottle and a bowl of water and all of them are good hay eaters but just one girl lisa yet i haven't had a problem with her yet hopefully not and their litters get changed twice a week sometimes once a week and a new pile of hay everyday and last time my girl bun park choi got it after eating her cliantro but she been eating since i got her and from her previous owner and my girl sooki that got it twice first time it was cliantro then the next time was parsley with a carrot then my woodino boy got the first time eating spinach bok choy lettuce then the second time it was cliantro but woodino that's going through is getting better and he did poop a lot of linked poop of hair though and he is throwing a lot of hair too but i hope I'm doing right for my buns

Do you happen to be on well water? Also, what type and brand of pellets are you feeding, do they get them every day, and how much do they get(amount per lb of body weight)?

 

[Selena RD]

Well i was giving them kaytee pellets but a week ago i switched them to oxbow pellets and they get 1\4 of pellets and I'm not even sure what pound of vegetables i just give like one meal could be 4 medium sized cube slices of bell pepper 4 slices of bok choy and a handful of spinach and the next meal would be like a half of cliantro

 

[Selena RD]

And i just give them 4 times a week pellets cause the vet said my bunnys are overweight

 

[Blue eyes]

the next time was parsley with a carrot

A whole carrot?
What type of Oxbow hay?
What are the full dimensions of the cages (l x w x h)?
How often are they let out of the cage and for how long?

For amount of greens, how much in measuring cups (roughly) do they get? (I don't know what you would mean by half a cilantro. A single sprig? A half a bunch?)

For consistency with their gut, I think it would be better to offer fewer pellets every day rather than offering the larger amount every other day. Two tablespoons per day instead of 4 tbsp (which is 1/4cup) every other day.

It's a dog crate they all have that's 49 inch and a half of a baby carrot and they either play outside when tbe weather is nice or 6 a day play in the living for 2 hours each then the next day will be the other 6 and they get oat hay and timothy's hay and for the 2 younger some alfalfa and it's a half of bunch of cliantro
