Care Guide for Harley and Sally
Treats:
Craisins– Harley likes them; Sally not so much, only ONE craison a day.
Oxbow Digestive Support– they both really enjoy these cookies; offer them each only ONE a day
Oxbow Simple Rewards Banana chips: Salle loves them; Harley not so much, only ONE a day
Reason: Buns can’t have too much sugar so it’s rather important you follow this guide
If you notice they don’t eat the treat, please tell me.
FEEDING:
Oxbow Adult Pellets: Sally and Harley are on limited pellets. I give them ONE (shared) handful into their bowl in the morning. And then ONE (shared) handful in the evening before bed.
Side Note: They go crazy for their pellets so if you see them not interested in them, please tell me.
Oxbow Timothy Hay: This one is easy. They get UNLIMITED Timothy Hay. If you notice the pile is getting low, feel free to give them a nice big handful and place it into their litterbox.
Veggies: only give them these types as I haven’t introduced anything else:
Romaine lettuce, Green leaf lettuce, chicory, kale, cilantro, parsley, Red leaf lettuce, radichio. NO ICEBURG!, it’s dangerous for them; so make sure you stick to this very particular veggie list, please.
Water: It’s pretty basic, just make sure they have clean water in their crocks at all times. They drink more than you think! Also, if there is hay in the water or it’s dirty they tend to not drink so make sure you check regularly to make sure it’s clean. They can be quite picky sometimes!
Getting to know the buns:
Harley: He is much more easy going than Sally. He has much more energy than her and tends to enjoy getting lots of human interaction! He tolerates being held and carried if you do happen to need to pick him up. He is the outgoing one and isn’t really afraid of anything so if you do happen to let them out, watch where you step; he won’t get out of the way.
Side note: If you need to pick Harley up pick him up quickly and hold him against your chest. But it’s best to not pick him up unless absolutely necessary.
Sally: Sally is the brown and white lop. She is friendly and isn’t skittish, but only enjoys pets on her own accord. Try rubbing her ears… she LOVES it. She is far from being a lap rabbit. Do NOT pick up Sally! She will scratch the s**t out of you. If you need to get her from one place to the other it’s best to just coax her with your hands pushing her in the right direction. Sally isn’t afraid of feet so please watch your step if you have them out. They sometimes have a tendancy to get right in your way.
Pointers:
If you notice one of the buns haven’t eaten or pooped within 12 hours please call me immediately. 24 hours and it’s an emergency.
When you need to get them into their cage for the night, shake the bag. They will come running to get their nightly meal and then just lock the cage behind them. It’s much easier than having to chase them down and catch them.
The buns LOVE their treats, if you notice they do not take their treat, something is wrong. Call me.

And of course I have the contact information on a different page. This one is about the feeding guide and what not. It looks better in the original format and easy to read. But I just copied and paste so the format is a little messed up
Any pointers or things I should add please share!
