  Lately Maybelline has stopped eating her hay (A mixture of timothy hay and orchard grass) and also her pellets! I am super worried.
  
  But she still likes to eat her treats, and most of her veggies, and she is still pretty active…
  
  Help! D:

  Many times when a rabbit changes their eating habits, it could be an indication of dental problems like molar spurs. It wouldn’t hurt to have the vet check her teeth.

  I agree with Sarita – it might be a dental issue. When we first got Hannah she was a very slow eater – it would take her all night to get through a bowl of lettuce, though she did still get excited about food and liked to eat. Turns out she had molar spurs and after those were fixed, she started to wolf all of her food down as fast as possible. Haha
  
  I think a vet trip, especially if she hasn’t been in a while, would be a good idea.

  Today I remeberd that when I adopted maybelline, they told me that she isn’t the biggest fan of orchard grass, and I had just added more orchard to their hay blend because I had run out of timothy. I tried feeding her some timothy blue blend hay that i got for free from binky bunny with my latest package, and she ate it right up. Looks like I will be ordering her some new timothy hay!
  
  But I will still be getting her a checkup soon
