I'm getting a holland lop bunny soon and the bunny is around 3 months old. I'm purchasing the sherwood baby bunny pellets but what type of hay should I purchase and how much hay should i give my bun?

2nd cutting timothy hay is usually well-accepted by most bunnies. Small Pet Select is a great place to buy a sampler box to try out the different types with your bunny. I would free-feed hay at all times. mbsy.co/q97PB

We have been giving Manapro . Eather way, we have been giving our rabbits Manapro since our daughters first bunny 8 years ago. I was told oats are only good for babys. I agree with you on Hay. The fresher the better. I found that our dumpings from changing the rabbits house sprouting in the spot it is dumped. I let it get about 6 inches and harvest it as a fresh treat. fresh dandylion greens are best when young. One treat my bunny really loves is willow leaves and young twigs. Your bunnys will LOVE you if you give them fresh willow leaves. Silver willow isnt as popular with them

Thanks for the feeding tips! Our bunny, Bo, got gastric stasis a few years ago, so we are very careful with what we feed him now. Thankfully, we noticed at that time that he wasn't behaving properly and got him to the Animal ER in a hurry! I think his problem was eating too much alfalfa hay. We switched to timothy which helped. We also regulate how often and the amount we feed him. He LOVES the dandelion greens and begs for them in the mornings and evenings. I was wondering what else I could give him from the yard, and will perhaps try some of the plantain herb. What was the packaged salad mix you were using again? (I'm hearing impaired, and sometimes the KZfaq voice recognition captioning doesn't work well.) Thanks!
@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
If you don't spray your yard with pesticides, you probably have quite a bit of plantain. You can always harvest, rinse, and dry it as well, as the bunnies love it crunchy too. The tub of salad mix was organic spring mix. Kale, romaine, and leaf lettuces are all great greens for bunnies. :)

Thank you. We have just switched our neutered mix breed and 2mo old polish to Sherwood. As soon as I opened the bag I new it was very different than our previous Blue Seal 16!! The baby was on it before but our older is getting used to it. He eats a ton of hay anyways and its only been a few days. We also are excited about your Farmer Dave recommendation as I wanted to get better wood chews than Pet stores have here. They love chewing anything and everything! I agree on soy. We feed our egg layers a soy free since I am too sensitive to soy so made sense my bunnies not having that crap. And I never realized the other extras that were in previous feed.

@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
Hmm, I have never had that issue. My first thought is to try feeding leafy greens before feeding pellets so they are hungry. Plus, veggies digest faster and should really be fed first anyhow. Secondly, are they on a pellet that is full of fillers and sweeteners like molasses that makes them want to eat more and get stuffed?

I have not eaten Oxbow, but if you send me a sample, I'll give it a go. LOL, just kidding. The newest Oxbow - Garden something - seems to be the best, as I believe it is free of soy, wheat, and fillers, but Sherwood is still cheaper and higher in fiber (can be purchased in bulk too). I definitely think Oxbow is the best bunny food that is available readily in stores.

Good idea. Their favorite toys by far are cardboard boxes and paper towel/toilet paper tubes stuffed with hay.

When we have apple branches, we give them those too and they go nuts - just don't give them pesticide-treated apple branches.

I really hope, even if on rare occassion, your able to get a small break and have someone come in and care for your buns for the weekend so you can go on vacation. I felt bad for you after watching your full day video. I do have a question though and one you probably have heard before; would you say Sherwood is better than Oxbow, have you tried both?

@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
Actually, bucks rarely spray unless you have other bunnies right next to their cage or in the area they play. Generally, bucks are a bit more mellow than does once they hit bunny puberty around 4-6 months, so that would be my pick. However, some does are exceptionally friendly and never go through a grumpy phase. Either way, getting the bunny spayed/neutered is key to keeping them from digging, spraying, mounting, and becoming grumpy. Usually around 5-6 months is when vets will perform the surgery. It is easier on bucks than does though. Hope that helps!

so a woman who has had rabbits for year's told me that she only feeds her rabbits a hand full of Timothy one day once a week and one cup of pellets everyday. I'm very confused because I thought they needed hay everyday and I don't want to tell her she's wrong because her rabbits are healthy and happy. I don't know what to do.

All you can do is care for your bunny, as you'll likely never get someone like that to change their ways. It's not uncommon in the show world to have someone who only feeds pellets or uses hay as a rare treat. It's not a natural bunny diet to not include grass (hay), and unless the pellets have very high fiber, digestive issues are eventually likely.

Hi I was wondering for Holland Lops if you had a fuzzy one like your frosty are the still able to show or is it a DQ and how do they get the fuzzy genes?
@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
Some people show fuzzy Hollands as American Fuzzy Lops, but they can't be shown as Hollands. Fuzzy genes are recessive, so if two non-fuzzy parents carry it, some of the babies will be fuzzy. It's annoying as a breeder, but I believe Angora was introduced into the Holland gene pool when the breed originated in order to improve the fur condition. It's frustrating as a breeder, but they are adorable pets for people that have the time to groom every couple days.

@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
Soy is difficult for them to digest and can turn into bad bacteria in the gut, and their urine will be stinkier due to the protein being dumped. Here is more in-depth information: sherwoodpethealth.com/#whyalfalfa

I definitely wouldn't choose to eat bunny food again, especially if given the choice of that or a cheeseburger, but I did it to prove how fresh and pure it is. Hopefully that point wasn't lost, LOL. :) My goal is to work with chinchilla, squirrel, and chocolate chinchilla Hollands as well as orange/cream/frosty. I have a chin doe, but she has never had a live chin baby so far.

Hello! I recently got a Holland Lop and I was wondering at what age do you normally have your litter trained? She just turned 6 weeks old (she was way too young when we got her, the breeder wasn't very experienced and he kept her in poor conditions! She was also very sick but now she's much better!) and I put litter box in her cage but she uses her whole cage as a "litter box" even though I but her dropping and paper towels with her urine in there. Is she too young to be litter trained?
@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
Mine are litter trained usually by four weeks, but bunnies are usually pretty quick to learn about where to urinate. I would just keep doing what you're doing, give her a couple litter boxes in the cage corners too. It is also possible that she could have been affected by the previous illness. You might want to check with a vet. Otherwise, just have patience and persevere. Then, when she's old enough, get her spayed, which may help facilitate litter training as well. Good luck!

I've heard of people feeding alfalfa hay when the rabbit is young. Do you feed timothy or alfalfa to young rabbits? Also, thanks for the great information! This video was very helpful and informative.
@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 6 жыл бұрын
I feed timothy hay and orchard grass exclusively because the Sherwood pellets contain alfalfa as the main source of protein (instead of soy and other grains that can be problematic). Giving them alfalfa hay in addition would be pretty rich, and I would have to monitor portion sizes, so I just free-feed other hays. :)

How long do you recommend feeding the sherwood baby bunny food before switching to adult? On the website it says to switch to adult food at 12 weeks. Isnt that a little young?
@HooksHollands
@HooksHollands 7 жыл бұрын
The baby Sherwood is extremely nutrient rich, so the babies are ready to move on to the adult around 3 months of age. I have kept very small babies on the baby pellets longer than that though. I suggest contacting Sherwood for more information, as they're usually really great at explaining the reasoning behind their food and feeding directions.
