Green hay is generally considered a better quality than golden hay (with the exception of oat hay). This is not an absolute truth though. There are unscrupulous hay merchants that even dye hay green.

A friend of mine raises race horses. He grows his own hay for them and lets it dry for 5 days in the field. It gets a little more yellow, but the…[Read more]

The picture of the hay in question is in my photos (https://binkybunny.com/members/2dbfa7e16d20d42b/photos/ ), I dunno if you can see it or not. Let me know if you can’t then I’ll think of something else in order to show it. She says it doesn’t feel to rough and that her dad said “hay doesn’t go bad.”

No particular reason we just don’t want cause any health reasons to rabbit but I’ve asked my mom and she says she will think about it more so we can get the other girl

I am not 100 percent sure but I do want to put into this as I do know I could help. It is not normal for sure but it might not be to much to worry about. It could be over grooming does , have you noticed him grooming a lot on his ear?

They should get hay somewhere else. I would recommend small pet select hay, but it is a little more in the pricey side. Oxbow is good for hay too and not super pricey, or maybe it was just a bad hay bale.

Timothy hay is typically supposed to be a nice green color. When it’s yellow like that it’s dried out and won’t be as appealing to any animal you try to feed it to (I work with horses and they’d snuff that.) Sometimes there are just batches of hay that bunnies just won’t eat, and if multiple of them aren’t eating it then you know it must not ta…[Read more]

Chloe, I doubt the pain meds would have made a difference for the outcome. 0.8 ml of dog metacam for a 5 pound bun (I dont know what Blue weighed, so I’m just guessing) is a pretty standard dose, so the vets can not have believed he was in a lot of pain. If vets think a bun is in a lot of pain they normally prescribe opioids for short term use.…[Read more]

It’s supposed to be Timothy hay and when they pick up hay it normally is a golden color. I wish I could show you the picture she took but I can’t seem to do that weirdly. It looks kinda like this: https://www.dreamstime.com/stock-photography-golden-hay-texture-background-close-up-image30344192

Sweetheart, take a deep breath. Tell yourself “I did everything I could for my baby with the knowledge I had at hand. I cannot know what I don’t know. My baby was loved and cared for.” I, personally, lost my VERY loved senior (almost 12 years old) bunny 2.5 weeks ago.  The hurt, the gut-wrenching pain is palpable — always right below the surface…[Read more]

Is it normally golden? What type of hay is it? Oat hay is supposed to be golden, but it should only be fed little because it makes them chubby. Orchard and Timothy hay should be green.

Thank you so much ill be sure to get that

if some other bunny owner is wondering, it completely dropped off on its own and my bunny is looking so much more handsome now HAHA thank u moderators for all your help ❤️❤️

It’s a golden color (if it was a hair color it’d be a light blonde if that helps at all to describe it), 2 cups of veggies, 1/8 cup pellets and from what they’ve seen no bugs.

Is the hay good? Not brown, or musty. How much veggies and pellets do they give the bunnies. They may be eating the pellets and veggies instead of the hay. Did they check the bale no bugs or anything like that, it may cause the bunnies to not eat it.

I thought that he may be at first, but he looks different than my netherland dwarf. His face is more of a circle, his ears are bigger, and he is more furry.

I am also curious if your rabbit is being kept in a cage/housing that is different. Those sound like mouth injuries from bar pulling/chewing. If the pet-sitter is OK with handling rabbits, I would inquire to check that the front teeth look OK and not damaged. Also check in about if the rabbit is eating OK.
