How old are your rabbits?

If they are young (under 6 months or so) they can be free-fed, meaning you can leave their pellets out for them.

If your bunnies normally finish their pellet ration right away and suddenly don’t finish them, that means they could be feeling sick or in pain.

Hmmm, it could be early stages of fur mites. It’s a bit hard to tell from the photos, but with fur mites sometimes the skin just looks a bit dry in the early stages. I’ve seen fur mites present first on the back of the ear, so the location fits.

Fur mites are often present on rabbits but never show symptoms, and then occasionally flair up for…[Read more]

So if the amount of pellets you’re providing is too much, no. Reduce the pellets and take away the bowl. If you are feeding a fine amount, it is fine to leave the bowl overnight. That being said, a rabbit not finishing pellets is sort of unusual so I’d be curious on what you’re feeding your rabbits that pellets are left over.

Do their patterns change sometimes ?

do i leave the bowl of pellets out overnight?

Is it hot where you are? I think a lot of bunnies are feeling sluggish right now just because of the heat. Otherwise, the slowdown could be due to age. Is he fairly young? Young bunnies tend to become a bit less active as they transition into adulthood.

Is this in front of both ears? I wonder if this is some sort of shed/molt pattern.

I honestly have no conception of what 35g of pellets is… I measure in cup sizes (1/8, 1/4…) and I’d use my kitchen scale to measure, but my rabbits get crazy when I open the pellet jar so I can’t risk doing that right now, haha.

How much pellets you feed your rabbit is going to depend mostly on the rabbit’s age, and then their size. In my…[Read more]
