My rabbit is only to eat dandelion greens? HELP!? My rabbit is about two years before and was in very good condition. We discovered at an early age, he hates food rabbit Wagg, so we weaned him and got some food at a place like fruity bits normally. But now, he is not eating at all. He lost so much weight that it is unbeleivable and drums in mind that my parents it needs veterinarians is an impossible task. I can pay them back soon, but the time I get money, it will probably be too late for my boyfriend. As I said in the title, it eats the leaves and dandeliion it is. We tried three different types of food and a stick of popcorn, but it does not touch it. It is so thin that.
I need help here, people! How do I get my mom and dad to see that he needs a vet? My father just said, "it seems pretty happy." But he does not know as I do: he is not happy, and it is not good. You can not see it because of its fur, but when you have time you can feel his spine, hip bones and ribs that I know is wrong in a rabbit. Am I my parents to pet him to let them see the seriousness of it?
And tell me PLEASE if there is something to all that I can offer him?
Fruity Food = BAD
They are loaded with sugars and can quickly rot the teeth of rabbits, fruit of any kind should be given in moderation.
Check your rabbits teeth (a veterinarian should check the back teeth) may not be able to treat mild dandelion leaves.
If your parents do not receive veterinary care your bunny be reported to the ASPCA for animal cruelty, it does not matter if a dog or a rabbit, an animal deserves care and against the law to deny him.
When we had a rabbit ate dandelions, in preference to anything else. I suspect that thinness is not related to food. See a vet.
try a little herb garden. My rabbit likes it. Try green lettuce, celery, apple, carrot, carrot top, banana, or radish leaves. If you try any of these things, be confident Ween on it, and not give it to him in a large group. Rabbits can live without food processed in a bag, there is knowledge. Mine did!
Good luck!
