Wont eat pellets

[audrinasmommy88]

Ok, So ive had Gracie for almost a month now. She is a good eater and loves her hay. But after about a week of being with me, she will not eat pellets. Completely refuses. Will tip the bowl and pee on them or totally ignore the pellets. Not even a sniff. Is this ok? She eats plenty of hay, and loves her veggies. If this isnt ok, how do i get her to eat the pellets?:?

ideally, they should have pellets... you might try out another brand to see if she likes it better.

rabbits *can* be healthy with just hay and a good variety of veggies, though, if you just can't get her to eat them. as long as she's eating lots of that stuff, there's no need to worry yourself about it.

She's on oxbow pellets. What other types should I try?

you could try sherwood forest - it's all natural, so it tastes a good bit different than other pellets (yes, I actually tried it and their old pellets ). health-wise, it's at least as good as oxbow if not a little healthier. they'll send you a 2 lb sample for just the shipping cost, too, so you don't have to commit to a big bag without knowing if she'll eat them or not.
