        So we had dinner over at my parents and my husband bought a bunch of salad. There was a bag left over and my parents told me to take it come. I looked at what was in it: romaine, endive, raddichio. Okay, sounds good for bunnies. Well I gave them some and they sniffed it and then turned their noses up at it. It has been sitting on the floor in there all evening and they haven’t touched it. My mom had been buying the big plastic containers of “spring mix” for them lately and they gobble that stuff down. Apparently they have developed a taste for it and the plain old romaine isn’t good enough anymore.

          Wait… the spring mix includes endive and raddichio in it (among other things). What the heck?!

            Oh my bunnies are VERY picky about their salads. ^_^ And whenever I introduce something new, it always gets a judgmental sniff or the bunny butt. I think it’s just their way. Of course if it sits for too long and begins to wilt, I usually take it out and toss it (ahaha…tossed salad..lol) just so they don’t get ill if they do sample it.
            Mimzy loves endive, but the other two won’t touch it. Fiver eats NO lettuce whatsoever anymore due to his cecal dysbiosis. Pip will eat anything, so I have to be very careful of what she does consume. She can get a good round of poopy butt from the most innocuous of vegetables.
            Raddichio is an odd type of lettuce, more like a cabbage leaf. I don’t think any of my buns will eat that. No mater what stage of growth it is in. Maybe the spring mix is a set of younger leaves? If the other salad you were given contained the matured plants they may not have the same appeal.

              Monkey usually snubs new foods, but with persistence, aka me shoving it at her face til she gets annoyed and grabs it to toss it thus finally tasting it, she learns to like more foods

                The spring mix does contain “baby” lettuces so maybe that is the problem. Like I said, they will gobble that stuff down no problem. My mom has really spoiled them, buying the big plastic containers of it. She’s like that though, she likes having stuff to buy. I will sometimes even find it handing in a bag on my front door (she just drops it off). Before, I was just buying them heads of lettuce like romaine and such. They ate it just fine before.
