  Within the last few months one of my rabbits has developed chronic GI issues. After a few episodes of stasis, he had an obstruction that had to be surgically removed. He’s great now and takes motility meds every few days to keep him regular, but my question is about his hay. Both my rabbits eat orchard grass. I’d tried to feed them timothy a few years ago when I first got them, but they picked at it. I found they loved orchard grass and go crazy for it. At the most recent vet visit she talked about the bun with GI issues needing a possible molar trim if he didn’t start munching on some more hay soon. So my question is, should I try and switch over to a 1st cut timothy and see if they go for it? Does anyone have any suggestions of a good sweet timothy option that isn’t so soft?
