Posted by Melony on 5/3/2005, 11:00 pm, in reply to "Re: rabbits - loose stools" Unfortunately we don't have the range of products here that the US and UK do.. makes me envious every time I see them! If you want to give her some chew toys you can try some of the following. - seagrass matting.. I get the cheap ones from Bunnings Hardware House. - willow and cane baskets are good. Check out a craft supply store or use the cane BBQ plates (that you put your paper plates on) from woolies etc. - fresh willow, apple branches, roses (stems, leaves and flowers) usually go down well. Just make sure they're not sprayed. - cardboard. Any sort, old rolls, tissue boxes will be ripped and tossed, larger boxes can be made into cubby houses. I usually tape 3 or 4 together and cut a few windows/doors in them. The bunnies then spend house nibbling and digging new entrance ways. - baby and cat toys. Things like the plastic key sets and balls with bells in them. Check that the bells can't be removed. - paper.. if you can stand picking it up. I toss out crumpled newspaper and they go nuts shredding it. Most buns are born organisers, so things that they can move around, bunch up, rip and toss are usually good choices. I also use the following recipe for treats. http://www.rabbit.org/fun/biscuts.html Melony

If she's doing ok on the hay mixes then keep her on that for a while. By mixes I meant the pellet mixes that have lots of dried fruits etc in them... sorry, I should have been clearer. If and when you re-introduce the pellets just try a few at a time so she can get used to them again.
