Gassy Bun

[BakingBunny]

Hello, I was wondering what I could do to try to reduce my bunny’s gas? She’s always pretty gassy and I find myself having to give her tummy massages and gas drops.
This is a list of the only things I feed her:

Romaine lettuce, green leaf lettuce, parsley, cilantro, and unlimited 1st cut Timothy hay.

As treats she gets Oxbow Digestive Biscuits and Naturals Summer Harvest.

Typically the first strategy is a combination of encouraging more hay eating and eliminating veggies one by one in order to see whether there may be an adverse reaction to one of them.

How old is your rabbit and do they have pellets? A more detailed description of rage and quantity for all food would be helpful.

Okay, so she’s about a year and a half old (born September 2020). She has unlimited hay in her litter box, I top it with fresh hay every morning and evening. I give her around 3 sprigs of curly parsley along with 1-2 leaves of green leaf lettuce every morning mixed with some probiotics. Then I give her again around 3 sprigs of Italian parsley and 1-2 leaves of Romain every night drenched in a good amount of water. I cut pellets out of her diet for now cause she’s a little overweight and the vet recommended that.
