I must have the only bunny gourmands on the planet. Pepper and Piglet came to me as rescues and at the time I didn’t have a clue and didn’t realise until later that they could have been more than a few weeks old. They started on hay but as they had been living rough in a free range situation where the rabbits were tossed any old veg (stale and shrivelled) and left to survive on anything else they could find I figured I couldn’t go wrong with most things. They were having sweet basil and parsley as a treat from the beginning as well as unlimited hay and pellets. When the kits came along they had two meals a day from Pepper plus hay and pellets on demand and by the 3rd week were stealing the basil, broccoli and Parsley out from under Pepper and Piglets noses. No buns ever had a bad tummy. Until Nermal came back to live then we had a few minor tummy upsets as I transitioned her back to the warren diet, I suspect she was not getting nearly enough good hay, just cheap bags of sweepings and they had been mixing her pellets with a Woolworths grain and pellet mix, apparently whilst they had her she only had a little parsley and carrot not the mixed herb salads she had grown up on. Maybe all buns are different to begin with or maybe its the diet they receive in the shelters and stores. But for me it’s lesson learned, if I have had the bunny from a kit a good varied but balanced diet is the way to go, if they come from somewhere else proceed slowly and with great care as even if they tell you what the previous diet was its not necessarily true or accurate information and its better to start off as if they had only ever had hay and water. All my bunnies now have a good diet of hay (unlimited) plain pellets (no frills, like grain and fruit mixed in) and a mixed salad twice daily consisting of Parsley, bok choy, basil, fennel, coriander, broccoli leaves, kale, nasturtium leaves and flowers, fresh grasses from the garden, celery tops (and limited) carrots, apple, craisins and strawberries. Plus for variety the odd card board box, furniture leg, willow basket and pet bed (nothing like a little forbidden fibre).
