3. 6 steps to solve the problem of rabbit not eating grass
1.Check fodder quality: Fresh tikka should be green in color and have a refreshing fragrance. It is recommended to buy small packages for tasting, and give priority to first-stubble grass.
2.Progressive grass change: If you need to change brands, you should gradually transition according to the ratio of 3:1, 1:1, 1:3, and the cycle is about 7-10 days.
3.Adjust feeding order: Feed grass first every day, and then provide rabbit food 2 hours later. The popular video blogger "Tutu Butler" actually measured the effectiveness of this method to be 78%.
4.Rich forage form: You can try grass cakes/grass sections/grass pellets. There are a variety of creative feeding methods in the recent hot topic #ForageDIY on Douyin.
5.Regular dental check-ups: Check the tooth length every week and seek medical attention promptly if any abnormalities are found. Zhihu hot posts recommend the use of professional teething toys.
6.Establish a reward system: When the rabbit takes the initiative to eat grass, give a small amount of fresh vegetables as a reward (such as 1 carrot leaf).

Recently, the popular pet doctor @Dr.Rabbit on Weibo emphasized: "Long-term failure to eat grass will cause excessive teeth and digestive system problems in rabbits. If it does not improve within 72 hours, you should seek medical attention in time. Grass should account for more than 80% of the daily diet. This is a basic principle that cannot be compromised in raising rabbits."
Xiaohongshu rabbit raising expert "糯米团子" shared the #草草temptation method# which recently received 23,000 likes. The core method is: "Weave the grass into grass balls and hang them on the top of the cage to use the rabbit's curiosity to promote eating."
