Picky Bunny now eats hay!

My daughter's rabbit had serious digestive problems and needed more hay. He was picky and didn't eat hay at all. I bought some haystacks of carrots for her to give him. At first he just picked carrots but I kept telling her to give fresh haystacks if he ate all the carrots to keep his interest going. My theory was that if he had to keep burying his face in the hay to get the carrots, he would eventually eat some of the hay. That pretty much happened. At first she noticed that he was eating a piece of hay here and there, but after a few days he was eating a lot more hay. She had to plant a new one almost every other day to get to this point because he was basically just picking carrots. It got a little expensive. It's also caused quite a mess, but if you're dying to get a rabbit to eat hay, you can pretty much try anything. Ha ha. She gave him the same amount of lettuce but limited his munchies a bit so he would stay hungry easily, but still gave him enough munchies that he wouldn't go hungry either. She stopped giving him other treats to make carrots more tempting. He didn't seem to see hay as food, but I think the carrot haystacks got him associating hay with food and eventually seeing hay as food. I'm writing so much detail in this review for people who have been desperately trying to get their picky bunny to eat hay because maybe, just maybe, these carrot haystacks will. I know she's tried a lot of different things, so we know that feeling of desperation. Much luck!

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
