  one of my bunnies stopped eating pallets about a weeks ago and will only eat hay, his brother on the other hand is still eating them sweet as!
  he’s also never took interest in veggies or treats either, ive tried to hand feed him pallets but he’ll just bite it and spit it out! what do i do?

  What brand of pellets are you feeding him? Some bunnies are super picky. Maybe you could try feeding him a different brand. Mine eat oxbow pellets and love them. Just be sure if you decide to switch brands to introduce the new brand gradually. You don’t want him to get an upset tummy.

  Agreed BunnyTheBunny. Does he have any medical history regarding his teeth? If not, have you seen his teeth lately? You can catch a peak of a rabbit’s teeth when they yawn, for instance. I’m wondering, because bunnies may stop eating particular things, or just eat less frequently, if causing pain/discomfort. Considering he’s not eating pellets, he will need to supplement the lost nutrients through extra vegetables.

  UPDATE: i’ve gotten him another brand or pallets and he doesn’t seem to care for them, but i also gave him the leaves from some broccoli this morning and he ate that sweet as, also got him a new chew toy this morning so i don’t think it’s his teeth that are the problem, he must just be super picky or not really like eating? i’m still not sure what to do about pallets

  Bunnies will often stop eating pellets if they are having dental issues. If the situation continues, I recommend having your vet check his teeth and molars.
