Bunny stops eating her normal good abruptly

[AbsolutePineapple]

So I’ve had my rabbit for about 4 1/12 years, she’s a polish dwarf. Recently I’ve switched her normal food from a pellet form (she hasnt known anything but these pellets (and of course a good amount of hay at all times)) to a blend of pellets and seeds and other things. I only switched due to convenience, as when I moved a couple years ago, the original pet store became a major inconvenience to get to. Since I switched, she refuses to eat any pellets at all. I still feed her fresh veggies and occasional fruit, but I’ve tried other brands and even went out of the way to get the old food she was used to, but now she refuses to eat pellets of any kind. Should I be worried? I only ask here because there isnt a reliable vet within my area that I can reasonably get to. And the fact of the matter is, every bunny food I’ve seen in this area has a majority of pellets in it. As far as I can tell, she’s still going to the bathroom normally and I havent noticed much different, but in the last week or so, she seems to have less energy than she usually does. Oddly enough, as I’m writing this, she started to run around like she normally does, but as a whole, she’s been acting a bit different than usual. Any help, insight, or advice would be appreciated. She is my first rabbit, so I dont have much frame of reference for this sort of thing.

Seeds are not healthy for a bunny. So you really shouldn’t be feeding her that anyways. Seed mixes and dried fruit and oats with pellets can make a bunny overweight and cause digestive issues. Pellets are only a supplement to a bunny diet anyways. As long as she’s eating greens and hay she’s fine.
