  I was out of town for a day and left my boyfriend in charge of taking care of our animals. I came back today and noticed litter (yesterday’s newspaper) in my buns’ food bowl. Turns out that he thought those were food!
  
  I guess they sorta do look alike. Luckly it’s only been a day and my buns haven’t been starving for that long.

  I have heard of multiple people doing that. Pellets is pellets I guess. The buns must have been quite disappointed!

  doh! i wonder if they were thumping mad when they discovered the faux-food?
  
  i kept reading about ‘yesterday’s newspaper’ in posts here and, until the other day in a store when i actually *saw* a bag, i thought they literally meant the newspaper from yesterday. lol.

  I have the same issue with Critter Country and the pellets I used to use – the ONLY difference in look was that the food pellets were about 1/16″ shorter. I just changed Maryann’s diet to a new ‘Older bunny’ formula. I haven’t received the disapproval yet…

  lol…how does this even happen? Do you have a bag of rabbit poop next to the pellets? Or did he actually scoop them out of the litter box into the food dish…which would be crazy
