Cutting out muesli etc

[Howard cordingley]

My indoor rabbit is putting on weight. I am cutting out muesli and reducing greens. She has lots of quality hay both in her cage and her litter tray. I just worry she won’t eat more hay. Is there a way of knowing if a rabbit is eating enough daily to ensure it’s adequate?

Are you switching from a muesli mix to a healthier, plain pellet?

She already has a good pellet from Science Select, I’m just encouraging her to eat more hay ideally 90% of her diet but hope she adjusts to it.

I have hay all over the place so I don't know how much hay my bunny eats but if the volume of droppings is good I figure she eats enough.

Good idea same as me her cage is like a mini garden with hay all over it.

I see. As @Diane R said, poos are a great indicator of how that digestive system is faring.
