Provide fresh hay every day. Rearrange hay in hay racks and trays during the day and it will make them think they have new fresh hay, which encourages eating.

Meadow hay is the most popular type of hay and easy to get hold of. Good for feeding and bedding and not that rich so suits all bunnies.

Readigrass is a favourite for lots of bunnies. They do go mad over it, but it is very rich and again should be used as a treat only and avoided if your bunny has a delicate tummy or excessive caecotropes.

Alfalfa hay is high in calcium so ideal for young rabbits, for adults – feed as a treat only as very rich. Best avoided with bunnies that have delicate stomachs or excessive caecotropes. It can also be used as a stimulant to try and get your bunny eating again if he is unwell.

Buying by the bale is a good way to save money. Contact local horse stables to find a contact.

Hay should smell fresh and be dust free. Don’t feed hay that smells musty or damp smelling or that are dusty.

Dandelions, Plantain, Milk thistle and Bramble leaves are all good for the digestive system.

Natural free foods for your bunny are always good, but make sure you know what you are picking is safe. Also it’s a good idea to wash them before passing over to your bunnies as you cannot be sure if they have been sprayed or if a wild animal has urinated on them.

Herbs are adored by most bunnies, parsley being the favourite. Also Mint and Basil are popular too. Why not grow your own in pots!

Carrot tops are a favourite. Buy some nice carrots for yourself with the tops on and this will feed yourself and the bunnies.
