My rabbit stopped eating his hay. Bought new kinds. Still nothing. Then I tried your suggestion to put his pellets on top of his hay for him to find- voilà! He loves to searching and ate his hay too🥳 THANK YOU!
I just took a small slice of orange and squeezed it over the hay and as soon as he smelled it he came running over and started devouring the hay. Would totally recommend!
I'm looking for tips. Holy crap, I hope that works, I will try it, my bunny was never fed hay by his previous keepers and as a result he doesn't want to eat any. I'm despairing of how I can get him to eat any hay at all....
@@varanzmaj I hope this tip works for you and your bun. It really helped my bun be more interested in his hay especially if you know your rabbit likes oranges like mine does. Good luck!
I have a younger rabbit around two or three months, they didn’t feed him hay and he’s strictly on pellets I’ve put him hay in there but no luck this far any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
You can add lettuce and herbs into the hay! Don’t worry if he isn’t fully introduced to salads etc yet, you can still add a few bits into the hay :D Maybe also an occasional fruit! Hand feeding the hay is also an option. If you cannot get the rabbit to eat hay at all then find pellets which are made mainly of timothy hay, e.g. the Oxbow rabbit food. You could also try feeding alfalfa hay! It isn’t made for rabbits over a couple months old or so as it doesn’t have enough fibre but it’s an amazing rabbit treat and they find it super tasty, so hopefully your bunny would want to eat that! From there on you can slowly transition to your selected hay choice like timothy hay or any other healthy choice :) Sorry if this didnt help
@@squeevieleigh3418 i tried alfalfa hay and Timothy hay My rabbit used to go through hay like it was nothing and boom she slowly stopped eating it , and i took her to the vet and he said to put blueberry syrup diluted on it , and I couldn’t find any , the only way i could get her to eat some hay is mix it with critical care and bananas , its making me sad , that she wont eat it anymore by itself
Alfalfa and coastal hay. Both are needed for a rabbit. Pellets are not natural. Pellets are pure poison. Coastal is Bermuda grass or hay. No greens no pellets. Just alfalfa and coastal hays . A fist full of both that is a pile the size of the rabbit. The rabbit will eat the alfalfa first then eat the coastal later. They will eat hay all day long. It wears their teeth down and gives them all the proper nutrition. Rabbits can get gas and bloat up from feeding the greens. Pellets are filled with grains and chemicals like paint thinner. I raise meat rabbits. Been doing it for years. My rabbits eat only alfalfa and coastal Bermuda hay. That and water makes for a happy healthy rabbit. Ween your rabbit off of pellets. Put a wad of both hays in there with half as many pellets. The next day more of both hay the size of the rabbit and a quarter of pellets. The next day don't put in any pellets just the hay. When your rabbit gets hungry it will eat the hay. Alfalfa will be first then it will eat the coastal. After several days into this your rabbit will be happy to get the mix of hays.
I pluck dandelions in the season and now my rabbit stopped eating hay, so I bought more expensive hay and dried dandelions. Gave him only a tiny bit of pallets, no veggies and he loves the dried dandelions. I buy it from Barn-i and JR farm.
We have an adopted rabbit and she was on Hay and pallets - Hay mostly. She got here and saw we were spoiling her with treats and greens and now we'll the joke is on us! She will NOT eat Hay anymore 😕 She is getting neutered next week Friday and after some healing and I am going to be a tough mummy! No more greens, maybe a leaf! Then HAY HAY HAY!
What do I do when my rabbit loves eating grass but hates hay in general he will eat pellets and his greens no problem but hay not so much... his back teeth are sharp he's 12 and he's a netherland dwarf so vet highly recommend to not put him under to trim his teeth
give him lots of grass with small amounts of hay to begin with, and slowly add more and more hay and less grass. Eventually you should end up fully on hay! I would recommend a hay like oat hay which is super at trimming their teeth naturally :]
Hello...😊 My rabbit who is about 3-4 month old male...prefers fresh grass only and not dry grass hay. He refuses to eat it at all. Is there any way to help my situation😅 Edit:its been 1 and a half weeks please reply i really like ur videos please replyyy😥
My little one was the same when she was younger. I found that feeding leafier and greener grass hay really satisfied her. Because your rabbit is young, you are able to give your rabbit botanical or alfalfa! These are very sweet and soft hay. Just remember alfalfa is very sweet because it is grown with clover, which isn’t great for adult rabbits (7 or 8 months and older). Alfalfa still can be fed to older rabbits but only as a treat. I hope this helps, feel free to ask more questions! 🙃
Ahh I did everything in this vid but the bunny pair still doesn't want to eat hay.. They only want pellets, pellets, and pellets. Idk what to do and it's making me stressed out. They used to want to eat hay but after the first time they eat pellets they don't want to eat hay anymore. Is there anything I can do?? I'm scared they will caught gi stasis or other diseases
Hopefully they are doing better by now. If my buns needs more hay in his diet I give him less to no pellets and he’ll def go for his hay. Try to feed them hay first and wait a couple hours before feeding them a small amount of pellets.
Haii ılysm! Could you please make a video of how to make your rabbit like their pallets my rabbits dont eat them we took them to the vet and the vet said “they will have to eat it,dont worry” and we waited and every morning ı give them the pallets and put trears in it but still nope
First do a lot of research and make like a powerpoint or slide or something about it and then show it to them cuz then they will know you really want a bunny. Also if they come up with any problems find a way to fix the problems while still being a good rabbit owner. Another thing is to tell them how happy you will be if you get a bunny or, if you can, you could tell them you will pay for some part of the supplies or do all the work. Hope this helps!
Is it ok if my rabbit is picky with his treats? He'll only eat apples bananas and grapes for treats nothing else, he's really picky with other foods too, I don't know if that's my rabbits personality or if something is wrong..
My bearded dragon was too spoiled at one point in time. She would only eat hornworms. Wouldn’t touch super worms or veges. After a week of not eating she devoured anything I put in her dish. You just leave whatever you want them to eat out. Yes you have to ensure they get hungry enough to eat what’s presented. Oldest trick in the book for parents to get kids to eat.
Same She will pick the pellets out and eat those but will leave the hay , i tried coating the hay with banana and she just licks the banana flavor off and not eat it ,
My rabbit dislikes the no brand hay I can buy in 5kg box, and is only interested in the more expensive that comes in 1kg bag. Mixing does not work, the only trick that works is iif I rub it with banana or tomato.
This sounds strange but add small amounts of juice into the water! You can also give them water which you have boiled veggies in. Then slowly transition to plain water
@@anupbisht5029 (Not my method btw c: ) Thanks for the update. I have a bun who also doesn't drink much water. My vet said that she probably just works through her food more.

My rabbit wants to eat everything people eat , he swoon and drawn to US cz of the smell pizza and wanted to eat it , obviously we didn't let him to eat or anything and he doesn't even look at hays , he wants leafy greens or carrot
When I sprinkle the pellets onto the hay , he would literally dig for the pellets and leave the hay alone smh
Which pellets do your rabbits eat ?

You can buy dried dandelions or dry them yourself and then don't give veggies and only a tiny bit of pellets.
Some great tips. Some I knew about and many I didn't. Thank you for sharing such useful and relevant content.
You're so welcome!

We get Timothy hay from local farm stores. Much cheaper and fresh.
My rabbit eats more pellets then hay so hopefully this video works(: update my rabbit is so big and he eats a lot of hay so.
limited pellets, 90% hays

My rabbit only eats his hay he loves 85
Can u do a video on symptoms of ear mites in rabbits plz
can rabbits recognize us as owners or source of food? I really liked the video 👍
Yes they can, especially if you have a routine for feeding them. They start to know what's coming and get excited about it.
then there’s my boy, who knows the routine and begs 24/7 anyway😂

5:00 … do not spread pellets in the hay! It just makes them throw it around waste it .. and stuff their sensitive noses in it …
