Hi, I just wanted to ask your opinions on my rabbits diet and if i should increase/decrease anything.
In the morning she gets 1/2 cup of veggies and 1 tablespoon oxbow simple harvest pellets. I recently increased her morning veggies to 1 cup, but then she barely ate any hay so I brought it back down.
In the evenings she gets 1 cup veggies and 1 tablespoon pellets.
She gets romaine lettuce and cilantro everyday, and the rest I rotate. One week she gets red leaf lettuce, the next she gets green leaf. Once a week she gets broccoli, then I give her a different herb with her cilantro everyday. Either thyme, basil, or mint. Once in a while I will give her something like cucumber or celery.
She has hay 24/7, but recently she barely eats any and seems completely uninterested unless it is 100% new. I give her a big handful of hay 2+ times a day and she sits for 10 minutes and eats probably only 1/3 of it then refuses to eat anymore until I give her more to pick through. Am I giving too many pellets/veggies?
She is a lionhead and weighs probably around 4/5 pounds at the most. The last time she was weighed at the vet she was 3.5 pounds but has definitely gained some weight since then.
When she was younger and wasn't being fed as many veggies, she had a hay bag that could hold 3 or 4 big handfuls of hay. I would fill it up every night and by morning it was completely gone.
