You don’t need to wait til he’s 6 months old but you do need to take it slowly. One new veg per week, not one new per day. I’d lay off the greens for a few days to a week for things to go back to normal, then introduce ONE veggie – romaine lettuce would be good. Just a tiny piece. If poops are fine the next day, increase the amount a little. Do this over the course of a week providing there are no poop issues.

Oh and definitely check his bum!

Thanks so much for that! I feel really bad that I went too fast, I thought I had to just wait 24 hours and check his poos were ok then I could try something else, no wonder he had soft poos. I’ve actually just let him out and noticed he smelt a bit, then a clump of soft poo fell from his bum…he still smells a little so I am going to have to have a closer look down there, I don’t think he will take this too well! Just gonna google for tips on how to do this!

Just a question…does grass picked from our garden count as ‘greens’ and need slow introduction or does it count as hay and can be given like you would a pile of hay? Thanks!

Don’t feel bad, at least you know now For bum checking, I tend to just pet my bunnies on the bum and have a feel around underneath lol. They don’t like it but it’s over pretty quick. 

I believe fresh grass is much richer than dried grass/hay so needs to be introduced slowly but I’m not too sure. Hopefully someone else will know!

Fresh spring grass is much richer esp in sugars than dried grass, and needs to be introduced slowly. That applies to all buns, not just baby buns. Reintro of fresh grass after a long grass-less winter needs to be done gradually.
