Last week, we had three rabbits arrive all in poor health.
The first two had been fed Wagg rabbit museli and carrots. Both rabbits have bad teeth, and one has terribly runny eyes, which the owner said she had taken him to the vet who said he just had runny eyes. I opened his mouth and the front teeth are in poor condition and growing the wrong way. They are both booked in to have dentals tomorrow.

The third rabbit, from a different home, had also been fed Wagg museli and is very obease and has urine scold too.

The most important part of a rabbit's diet is hay, with a small amount of pellet food and vegetables. Diet plays a huge part in your rabbit's health, and these conditions could have been avoided if they were eating the right things.

That's terrible! I hope they are more comfortable soon x

Pip had his back teeth sorted and is much happier

That's good news

Poor babies I'm so glad they are with you and will get the correct diet and help they need

I had one rabbit (Martha) that would only eat muesli for years, I finally got her on pellets after she had a bout of stassis and had to syringe feed her, she lived to be over 9 years old, but she was a great hay eater
