I'm really quite worried about him. He will not take his biolapis, and we both got really quite stressed by the last attempt. Spenser has retired to his basin and I am heading for the kettle.
The pellets are great - I'm sure they will help :)

I was given biolapis for Clo - haven't used it cos it's more stressy to catch him and give it to him than it's worth. My choice is to not use it, and have a stress free bunny.
That's made me feel a bit better. The problem is that the vet who has taken over our practice is more rabbit savvy but not as sensitive to the problems of amateur and over-anxious owners. :(
Spenser is pondering a new signature...

I bought Bio lapis once and none of mine liked it, yet it's a different story with the pellets :) I suppose bunnies are like us, and all have different tastes, it's just finding what Spenser likes and what works for him :)

eric's poops are pretty pitiful at the moment too and i can't fathom why as nothing has changed. he is moulting quite heavily so i'm having to sneakily de-tuft his bum whilst nosey rubbing and i think i'll go get some different hay tomorrow as he may be bored with the ones he's having.

i can recommend the pro-fibre pellets too - just wish i could remember to give them more regularly at certain times!! and as for bio - lapis.........i swear it stopped eric drinking any water for a few days cos i'd put some in there once!!

I prepare a weeks worth of food pots for The Boys - half and half SS pellets/Pro fibre that way I can measure out exactly what they're getting, and I don't forget the PF ones :)

I've noticed the moulting as well as one or two stringy poos from Harry, Barney had to have a good brush yesterday and Maverick had his tufts removed ;)
