Hay and Apple juice

[Sage's mom]

The person suggested spraying Sage's hay with apple juice in order to entice him to eat it is brilliant! Sage is eating his hay! Thank you!

Just be careful that it stays fresh. Damp hay is prone to mold and, mold is not good for rabbits.

Thanks. Is changing it once a day enough?

It should be changed once a day at a minimum, because bunnies get bored with the "same old stuff" sitting around, and get excited at new handfuls of hay. It's best to give smaller portions of hay more often a day, instead of dumping a single heap to last them the whole day. Personally I like to change my bunnies' hay 3 times a day - in the morning, after I come home from work, and right before I go to bed.

Yes, once a day is fine, just don't leave damp hay over 24 hours. Discard the remainder and use it for compost, it will make good plant fertilizer or potting soil.
