Ok so a couple months ago my 5 year old dwarf got a bout of GA stasis, $1200 later I think she's fine. I have revamped all 4 bunnies diets- little pellets in the morning and greens at night, well only 3 eat the greens my male dwarf will not touch them refuses. He eats hay, and drinks water. So.. here is the million questions. Ready?

1. How do I get him to eat greens? I noticed he's got tiny poops but isn't showing signs of stasis. I'm guessing his weight is at 2 lbs. Should I be feeding him critical care? If so how much?

2. Mini lop maybe 3 lbs I feed him greens 2 cups a day..is that enough? He always seems like he's starving unlimited oxbow hay.

3. Flemish (well from what I was told ) 9 lbs his greens are 3 cups, oxbow hay. Is he getting enough greens?

vet told me to get rid of pellets all together buy the male won't eat anything else, I would love to ditch the pellets. Any help, tips, would be awesome!
 
Hay and water are the most important.
 
I hope that when your vet told you to ditch the pellets he gave you guidance on what variety of greens to feed them so they're still getting the minerals/nutrients they need when you do stop the pellets.

I buy all green leaf veggies.
Kale,green leaf lettuce, red leaf lettuce, collard greens, parsley, cilantro, spinach, endive, arugula, watercress, occasional baby carrots and bananas.
I do feed a small amount of pellets in the morning. I know what to feed just if I'm feeding enough. Seems no one has answers just opinions. Lol so I guess I can further my research online.
