Hello! It was me that posted the link about taking away the hay for 3 days. Taking too much away could cause stress, and the other thing might be that she won’t eat at all if only given hay and that would not be a good thing at all as they need to keep their GI tract moving (it could cause a bout of GI stasis). I would say try taking the hay away for 3 days first, then see.

hmmm… i dont know about adjusting a diet before spaying a bun… i was actually chiming to comment about the hay eating since Baby also didn’t eat much hay before.  i was actually a bit shocked to learn how much hay other buns were eating.  she was eating unlimited pellets & hay with about a cup of greens a day up until about a month & a half ago.  now she’s eating 2 cups of greens, a 1/4 cup of pellets & unlimited hay and she’s just now really eating more hay.  i figured out she really like the big long pieces and i can almost not keep up with handing  it out now (there wasn’t a spec of hay in her room this morning poor thing!)  i’ll bet after lulla’s spay you’ll be able to get her hay consumption up within a few weeks.

I wouldn’t change anything then until she gets spayed. You don’t want to stress her out before her surgery. After she’s recovered you might want to look at her diet then. Maybe the spaying will help her stinky poo’s too.

I agree with Sarita, keep everything the same and she recovers then give it a try.
