So my rabbit is extremely sensitive, and had reoccuring urinary infections. We went to the vets every time we found out he had it. They said he has a ''sludge'' in his tract and we always got x-rays. We try to feed him pellets made for rabbits with sensitivities and are prone to urinary infections, but he doesn't like those pellets very much and won't eat them. I want him to eat them, but i also don't want to starve him. Any way to get him to eat and enjoy his pellets? in the beginning he always ate his pellets and suddenly he didn't like them anymore? He gets fresh hay and water every day.

 

Thanks.

Are the pellets made to help his issues (eg they have some sort of medication in them) or are they just like normal pellets but made specifically for rabbits that have these issues (eg they don't have specific ingredients that could make their condition worse)?

 

If they're the second then I wouldn't worry too much as long as he is eating enough hay and variety of veggies. Pellets are solely a supplement/treat for rabbits that are in good health :)
