Okay then, I’ll just keep offering her new toys. I think I’ve figured out that she only chews her toys when she’s in the mood, because yesterday she had no interest whatsoever, but right now she’s savagely chewing some willow sticks. If I annoy her with some toys eventually she’ll start chewing them. Thank you!
Well, we’ve been placing hay all around her hutch, next to where she likes to sit, and we’re putting in more into her bed area (hay) everyday. We’re also putting a big handful in her food bowl and I also bought a hay rack. We’re also only giving pellets in the morning and when she goes to bed, so when she’s hopping around throughout the day all there is to eat is hay, alongside hay treats and a foraging mix made mostly of hay and leaves. I usually put in a mixture of two hays into it. She’s being a bit snooty about it, but I’m sure she’s eating a little more than before – not a lot, but something, so that’s good. She also loves her timothy hay treats, which are at least something even if they’re not a lot, certainly better than before her teeth started getting bad. We’ve got about three different types currently – timothy, meadow, and another grass-type one… we’re gonna keep offering her different types each time. I give her fresh in the bowl every day.
Wow, only a year? Poor sweetie. Lily’s seven now and the vet reckons she”ll need an op every six months if we can get her eating hay. Eventually she’ll realize hay’s all she’s gonna have throughout day, so maybe she’ll start eating more soon. Hope your bun keeps eating his hay!
