I’m not sure at all, I’ve never heard of a rabbit trying to suckle. Any odd change in behaviour and I would be taking my rabbit to the vet if possible. Maybe Negan is sick? Particularly if she’s acting clingy…

I was able to find them on Amazon. They also might be available at some place like Target or similar?

@Bam.  Whatever it takes, she’ll get it.   Thanks again, everyone.

If you’re feeding alfalfa-based pellets, it’s OK to feed a young bunny grass hay. They need the extra protein, etc. that alfalfa provides but doubling up isn’t necessary. A rich diet can create an excess of cecotropes, so it isn’t unusual to witness this in young bunnies.

Alfalfa is for young rabbits that are still growing, as an adult he should be on timothy pellets and timothy hay (other grass hay like orchard is fine too). Alfalfa is too rich for adults, unless it’s a pregnant or nursing female.

Oh really? That’s interesting. Maybe I will cut out the alfalfa hay then since it’s in his pellets (he lovessss his pellets). Can I still give him the pellets that have alfalfa in them when he gets older though? Main part of his diet would obviously be Timothy hay..

Also should I give her some gas drops? To help with gas if she gets it from the antibiotic.

Okay and I definitely agree she could be marking over-again but wouldn’t she pee when she’s out for playtime? Yes the pee is mostly outside of the litterbox.

I agree, it’s most likely because of the rich food. If he’s getting alfalfa pellets he doesn’t need alfalfa hay. In fact I would recommend not getting him used to alfalfa hay at all, it’s very hard to get them off of it later. 😉

@DanaNM I’m curious, what site did you find them on? I’ve been looking for them because I’m considering bonding my girl and those would be useful.

Agreed, you’ll want to reinforce with some smaller mesh until he gets bigger. Could use hardware cloth, chicken wire, or even these (my recent obsession): https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/nose-guards/
