It sounds like the combo of poor diet and the move might have triggered a bit of gut slowdown. For now it’s important to keep her eating and pooping, and then work on gradually improving her diet. How are her poops and appetite now?

If there are veggies that she’s familiar with, keep offering those to keep her hydrated and keep her gut moving a long. Then I would restrict the pellets somewhat, but you should make sure her gut isn’t in trouble before cutting back on them dramatically. So first order of business is making sure she is pooping normally. They may be somewhat dark, but she should be producing a lot of poops and they should be uniformly round. I’m guessing she isn’t consuming anywhere near 2 cups a day? Once her pooping looks good, maybe you could restrict to 1/4 cup twice a day to start?

I wouldn’t worry about fully transitioning to the new pellet just yet, since there are so many changes going on with her.

Do you think maybe she’s picky with hay? You could try other types like orchard grass or some treat hay. If she eats that then you could mix it into the Timothy hay or just feed her orchard grass.

@Courteney215 How is your bunny doing now?

Glad she is doing better!

As far as veggies, cilantro is usually very popular and can be given regularly. 🙂 The green leafy carrot tops are also very nutritious and popular. Parsley shouldn’t be give too often as it has high oxalate content. Cabbage also is unfortunately not a great one to feed because it often causes gas. Check out this list for bunny veg ideas:

Many people use romaine or spring mix as their staple, and then mix and match other veggies and herbs. Think leafy, but be mindful of oxalate and calcium content. That link I shared goes into those details. 🙂

You should not introduce more than 1 new veggie a week, to allow her system time to adjust and make sure she isn’s sensitive to it (some buns just can’t handle certain veggies, especially if they aren’t eating much hay).

In terms of not coming out, just give her time and some space. She will come out when she’s ready. 🙂

Glad she’s doing better. I would still remove the cabbage, but the other things are fine for now. You’ll want to slowly transition to leafier veggies that have a good balance of nutrients.

Idk where the lettuce diarrhea myth comes from. I think people who had bunnies who had never had veggies at all would give them a bunch of iceberg lettuce and they would get sick, not from the lettuce but from the sudden change. Iceberg should be avoided since it has next to no nutritional value and usually isn’t very fresh. Romaine, red leaf, and other “fancy” varieties of lettuce are all very safe and healthy for rabbits if introduced properly.

I totally agree with Moonlightbunny66, because my bunny actually used to have that same poblem, long ago, and then when he tried orchard grass, he surprisinly loved it, and ate lots so then I could cut way back on pellets. The only thing that I would keep note of with orchard grass hay is that it has a smidge less fibre than Timothy, so I would feed a mix of both. But that’s just me.
