Yeah, that’s an awful lot of alfalfa. As Dana said, you can give it to adult rabbits as a treat. It should not make up the bulk of the hay they are eating.

Oh I understand! Thanks for clarifying. How long has it been since his trim? Sometimes they can be a bit sore afterward. How many pellets and greens does he get per day? Could he be filling up on pellets?

Fresh grass is very healthy for the gut, but not quite a perfect substitute as it doesn’t grind the teeth the same way.

Happy Birthday!!

Adult buns shouldn’t have any alfalfa on a regular basis (although a tiny amount as a treat is OK), their hay should be all grass hays (timothy, orchard, oat, rye, bermuda are all good). So yes, 40% alfalfa would be too much.

Happy Birthday!!! Hope you get to celebrate in what ever way you like best… and ideally with bunnies about!

Sorry that my post was unclear. He’s already had a molar trim, what I mean is that I’m trying to avoid needing more molar trims in the future (as per my vet’s advice, who doesn’t want my rabbit under anesthesia any more than necessary.)

So to clarify, he still isn’t eating hay AFTER having had his molar trim.

Ah ok thank you. 🙂

How is she doing now?

I don’t think this is a brand many owners use because it’s not as available as Oxbow or other brands. I found an old thread with some more in-detail analysis on comparing APD to others: https://binkybunny.com/forums/topic/oxbow-vs-american-pet-diner-another-question/

If he already has spurs, he will need a trim. He won’t be able to grind them down with eating.

What does the vet think about anesthesia? Has he had many trims before?

In my mind, he is in enough pain that that he has stopped eating hay, which is very important to his diet. Chronic pain can cause all sorts of other problems as well.

Thanks everyone! 😀

Happy birthday! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
