Hello, my name is Sophia, and I’m getting a rabbit! I was wondering what brands of food and hay are recommended, and how often I should trim her claws, and get her teeth done? Also, what size cage is recommended? Thank you for your time!
Oxbow has pellets and timothy hay in their product line. The majority of the diet should be timothy hay or similar grasses. Pellets should be limited to no more than a 1/2 cup daily. Alfalfa should not be offered after 7 months of age. Trim nails every 3-4 weeks if necessary. Your veterinarian can show you how initially. Teeth should be checked monthly. A yearly exam should include a dental exam and teeth trimming if indicated. Symptoms of overgrown teeth include decreased appetite, drooling, pawing at the mouth, swelling or discharge.

Congrats on your new addition! It looks like you have everything you need. A water bottle wasn't listed, so if you don't have one be sure to pick one up at the local Petco. Rabbit safe chew toys can also be found at the store. Melo can eat as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as he wants. Do not feed him any alfalfa and limit pellets to about 1/8 cup daily. he can get a cup or two of fresh greens daily as well. If you have any additional questions, you can post them here.

Hi I have a lop rabbit and a European rabbit. They are both neutered. I have had them for 2yrs. Since the day I got them they would be eating hay,food pellets and occasionally vegetables. Now they refuse to eat their pellets, they just bury it in the
Hi there, there are a few reasons why Peter and his friend may not want to eat pellets - but the main thing is that they continue to eat hay abd have free access to as much as they want. If it was a big bag of pellets, it may have spoiled and tastes bad to them, try buying a small bag of their usual brand. Check the expiration. If they still won't eat the new bag, try a different brand. Also, some rabbits can develop over grown teeth that need to be checked by a vet - the pellets may be uncomfortable to chew if the teeth are over grown. Once again, as long as they're eating plenty of hay, that should make up the bulk of their meals. I hope this helps!

My adult rabbit will not eat hay. Is there an alternative? Any help would be appreciated.
You can feed your rabbit rabbit pellets, fresh greens, green veggies, carrots and a slice of apple or Tomato here and there for a treat. You can also feed cucumber. Always have good quality hay in his cage anyway, best is to go to a farmer near you or a horse stable and ask if you can buy a slice or small bale of hay (should not cost more than $10, but will last a long time). The commercial hay you can buy in the pet store is often old and dusty and I would not eat it either.....
