Well, the lady who was going to give us a doe a while back had a death in the family, and so it never happened. Today, it did. And she gave us two rabbits, both does, one black dwarf and one I think is a NZW.
She didn't think to bring food for me to wean them with, but just told Shay that they've been eating the Walmart food in the green bag, as well as lots of vegetables.
So I go to Walmart, and there is no Walmart brand rabbit food anymore, and all the rabbit foods that are there are in green bags, in spite of the fact that they are quite different.
Right now they just have hay. I bought a small green bag of rabbit food that is mostly Timothy and alfalfa based pellets, but I don't have any idea if that's what they had before. I got some romaine and some carrots that I will be giving them, since I figure they probably had those, though I'm less sure about the romaine.
What do I do? I'm afraid to give them the food I just bought. Do I just feed them hay and carrots and a little romaine for several days, and then start giving them a little of my regular feed, and slowly increase?
:help:
