Switched pellet brands and she stopped eat them

[Ms.Jess]

Ihave givenmy rabbit fortidiet pellets since I got her about 7 months ago.I switched her from the pellets they were giving her at the pet store I got her fromsince they were a cheap bulk brand and in my mind cheap must equal poor quality. however I took a pay cut at work and so I thought that I needed to try to limit my spending in number of way including buying cheaper pellets so I went back to said pet store and I got a bag of her old cheap pellets. However I seem to have made her into a pellet snob and she is not eating them. She is still eatting her hay and veggies and pelets make up a small portion of her dietso I don't think that she isstarving but I was wondering if you think she will adjust to the cheap pellets or if I need to give up the rouse and give into to food snob that I created. Any feed back would be great.

Could you mix her old pellets and new one? That would help her adjust to the change. You could slowly cut out the old ones by using more of the new ones.

guess I am gonna have to cause it is day 4 and she isn't eat them at all :nope: SO I guess tomarrow I am off to buy her pellets that are 3 times more expensive (if only I could buy a smaller bag so I had just enough to transition her with for a a couple of weeks but her brand of choice comes only in bag that lasts us a more than a month.

Yeah, you have to ween them on to new pellets. The contents aren't the same brand to brand.

So, just intoduce the new ones into the old a bit at a time. I think there's a link or post in Library about it.
