Question

she does not eat the pellets, also she hasnt been eating much of her hay. i end up throwing hald of her food away everyday.. i need help im very worried?

Answer 1

My rabbit did that at first too. She would eat everything but the corn and the pellets. After a while she started eating it (probably realizing that if she didn't finish what she had there wasn't going to be more coming for a while). Often times if you let them get hungry they will eat the pellets and will eventually get used to it.

Answer 2

Don't feed rabbits food that is not just the pelleted diet. They will pick everything else out (all the colorful bits) and leave the pellets behind, and they won't get enough nutrition. While the plain pellets may not look as great to us, they are what your rabbit really needs. If she is an adult rabbit, I would recommend Kaytee Timothy Complete. It is a great timothy based pellet with the right balance of protein and fiber. If the rabbit is under about 6 months, you can stick with an alfalfa based pellet.
Also, make sure you ahve good quality hay. Timothy, not alfalfa, and make sure it is nice and green. Rabbits can be very picky about their hay. Better hay is often avaliable from a feed store if there is one near you, and it is cheaper.
Make sure you're giving your bunny about 2 cups of leafy greens each day.

Answer 3

I feed my rabbits and rat Fiesta brand food also. They seem to have the exact same problem. I just leave it in there for a few days though and then change it. That gives them a little time to get hungry and eat the pellets. The diet is balanced nicely so the more they eat of it the better they'll be.

Answer 4

Don't feed her the good stuffs. Once she is ugly, she has no choice but to eat the bad stuffs.
