Hi guys, bit of a problem here. Over the last week, the bunnies seem to be eating less hay. I’m not sure if it’s one of them in particular or if it’s both. I fo see the two of them eating so I think it might be the two if them combined eating less? Usually they do the majority of their hay eating overnight, from roughly 4am til about 9am. They graze throughout the day but most of their hay consumption is early, early morning. I have to top up quite a few times. Over the last week however it seems they’re barely eating more than a handful each. 

It’s not health/dental related I don’t think because they both still do eat hay. I’ve watched them to be sure they’re not just picking it up and dropping it and I’ve also sat and handfed them hay strands. Buttercup usually gets fed up and goes to the litter tray to help herself to the hay and Peanut will sit and keep taking hay til he’s full then he’ll go and lay down. I give them unlimited orchard and timothy and a couple handfuls of oat every day though I’ve given unlimited oat over the past week in an attempt to get them to eat more. Often they’ll have a day or two where they seem to go off their hay a little and it’s usually because they’ve gotten a bit bored so I change things up a bit I. E. Stop giving them timothy for a few days for example and then give them tons of orchard and oat and by the time I give them back the timothy, they’re thrilled and excited for it again. That tactic hasn’t worked this time, and as I said, it’s been a week now 

They’re both still pooping, though slightly less due to less hay but they’re pooping well regardless. Water intake and peeing is normal. Behaviour wise they’re normal. A little lazier perhaps in the evenings but no signs of lethargy – they still run to the hay box when I get it down to refill, they still run about and binky etc.It’s started getting very warm here so wondering if that’s a factor in laziness?

In terms of other food, they get about a teaspoon of probiotic pellets in the morning at 5:30. In the evening at 5:30,, 1 to 2 fibafirst sticks each. I’ve cut down on those slightly since Thursday as Buttercup is a little overweight. They get dried dandelion for our evening game (you all know about it by now ) They get a few pieces of dried chicory root as a grooming bribe but no more than a teaspoon and then they get a sprinkling of forage overnight mixed with their hay. Not sure if I can cut back anything else ?

Any ideas would be much appreciated, sorry for the wall of text. Thanks guys!
