Granny's gone and done it again

[Wishing4Wings]

I don't give Chicory much fruit. The occasional grape. Parsley and a bit of carrot are his treats. He's 8 now, and fairly thin. We limit pellets and give unlimited hay. If he goes off his food, I pick blackberry leaves for him, cut out the spiny main rib, and feed those. I read somewhere that they were medicinal and would help with bun stomach upset (was a British source). Has worked every time. He's never had loose stools though, so not sure about that.

Certainly worth a try and we have them here. I will let her have some. So scared she won't be ok.

This is the new rabbit... you just got her? Maybe it was a change in food. The lady I got mine from gave me some pellets and we mixed them with the new ones for him. I know they are sensitive to those changes. I get his food from the feed store that breaks up big 50lb bags into small 5 or 10 lb brown paper bags. It's great if you don't need much. (They do it for chick/chicken food too.) Anyway, one time he seriously went off his food, and I thought it was a different shape pellet. Was worried some other type of pellet got mislabeled, so went to the feed store to ask. Turns out they had switched brands of rabbit food they had been using, and people were up in arms because their rabbits wouldn't eat it either. Feed store changed back really quick! Manna Pro is what they use.

No, i have had her quite a while now and i have kept her on the same pellets. She is the last one i got but it must be weeks now i have had her. I am feeding Manna pro as well. I get 50 pounds since i have three of them. It keeps well in the garage in a metal garbage bin.

I hope she is okay. Is she a lionhead?

Thanks! No, all the bunnies i have now are Holland Lops. I used to raise Lionheads, but have not seen many here i like.

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Oh, that's right. I love the Holland Lops. In college, I almost got one. It was so friendly and absolutely adorable. I came so close, but it was in with another, and I kept thinking it wouldn't be fair for it to be alone all day while I was in class, so I didn't get it. I have always thought about that little bunny. So young, it fit in one hand.

Well nice chatting with you tonight! My phone needs charged and i need a shower and some sleep. Have a great night!

 

[Wishing4Wings]

Goodnight Cap. Sleep well. I am going to lie down as well.

Good night y’all! I’ll probably be popping in and out tomorrow. I’m going dress shopping with my cousin because she couldn’t decide on dresses today so why not drive 3 hrs north to look? Then if she doesn’t find one she’ll settle for one she tried on today which is an hour away from here in another direction.

I’ll never understand dress shopping.
