  I just got a holland lop about 2 weeks ago and I am trying to switch his food to Oxbow Bunny Basics/T. However, whenever I put his old food(Blue Seal Show Hutch Deluxe) and his Oxbow food mixed together her just eats the Blue Seal food! He hasn’t touched the Oxbow food even once!! What do I do??

  Keep trying. Oh perhaps you can feed your bun just Oxbow in the morning and the other food at nite. Or vice versa. That might help if he has no choice but to eat what you put.

  What I would do is just put a TINY BIT of Oxbow pellets in. Put more in every night. Other wise: Why can’t you keep the Blue seal brand? Keep buying that if it does not work out.

  This is the formula I have tried this many times and have been successful.
  
  Week1: two 1/2 cups new
  six 1/4 cups old
  
  Week2: four 1/4 cup new
  four 1/4 cup old
  
  Week3: six 1/4 cups new
  two 1/4 cups old
  
  Week4: Eight 1/4 cups new
  Zero cups old
  
  It has worked for me! I hope it works for you!
