        I got new hay for Blossom and Thumper and they’re barely touching it. I tried putting some foraging mix on it but they only ate the mix so what else can I do to get them to eat it?

          Give them time and ideally they’ll go for it when hungry enough. Did you change brands, type, etc…? Do you notice any significant difference from it than the old hay?

              Alright, I’ll give it a little longer then. The old hay was Oxbow Timothy hay and the new hay is Ametza Bermuda grass hay that I got off of Chewy.com

              I would give it a little time. They will probably eat it eventually. If they continue to turn their noses up at it, you may need to get some of their old type of hay to mix in.

                Does it seem fresh? Sometimes a bag of hay will be “off”.

                    Spots are greener than others, it’s soft and doesn’t smell musty
