I do give my bunnies veggies however one of them gets flaky skin/scabs around her mouth when she eats them which I find quite odd. At first when I noticed it I thought it was some sort of disease of some sorts until i experimented with cutting back veggies. So from time to time I will cut back on veggies and add extra pellets to allow her mouth to heal and fur to grow back, otherwise she starts scratching at her mouth too much and she will make it worse. I figure it must be some sort of allergy to one of the plants, but have not been able to narrow it down just yet as to which one.

I didn’t get an opportunity to mix the hays since I ran out quicker than anticipated since I have added two extra litter boxes to their cage because for some reason one of the buns decided that he would rather eat hay over the side of the litter box than jump all the way inside. He’s really touchy about everything and it looks like he would rather have more room to graze on hay than his girlfriend who wouldn’t care if some one was sitting on her as long as she gets her hay.

Now that it is payday again, I’ll be getting her favorite hay again (spoiled bunny) but I also purchased a hay feeder that will cut down the loss of that hay and will feed that one sparingly now. But I would still prefer to switch her over to the new hay since it is more cost effective.

She’s had two full examinations (One when she arrived at the animal shelter and when I adopted her)  and also has had monthy checkups by the Rabbit Haven professionals (they do free nail clipping and checkups once a month in my area) as well.  She is due for her yearly checkup in October where I’ll be taking her to her vet (rabbit savy.)

Shes about 2 year old, and is a vaccume where food is concerned.  She eats everything and anything in sight and wont stop there if it was her choice.  If it was drooling problem, wouldnt it also affect her when she is eating her hay, and/or pellets as well?  It would seem odd that she would only drool with vegetables and nothing else.   When I cut out all veggetables aside from Romain lettuse the issue subsides and voila it all goes away.  Its when I add an array of vegetables to her diet that I see that this happens.   She does receive dark leafy vegetables daily, and when I cut back, its just Romain and red/green leaf lettuce that I give her since I know that those ones do not do that to her.  This week I will be introducing Bok Choy again since I am trying to narrow down which vegetable it is and next week dandlion greens.  So far everything has gone smoothly with reintroducing vegetables.  So far the things I have avoided to add back into her diet is Escrole/Endive which I am suspecting is the culprit since all other vegies seems to be ok.

On a side note though, she has been picking through her new hay and is spending more time like before grazing.  Not as much but each day that goes by she eats more and more of it, so I am pleased that she’s eating it.
