A Digestive Mystery 🎙️🌿
After our recent visit to the exotic specialist, we have been following a very specific roadmap to help Arnold find his "sweet spot."
It turns out that rabbit digestion is even more complex than we thought! One of the most fascinating takeaways from our specialist (and her consultation with a London expert) is that some rabbits avoid their caecotrophs simply because their diet makes them smell "off" to them.
Our Current Protocol:
✅ The "Rule of One": Only one dietary change at a time to maintain stability.
✅ No greens until he is older and his system has matured.
✅ Monitoring for those "Golden Droppings."
✅ Plan B: If he doesn't stabilise, we move on to trialling different pellets to find the perfect fit for his sensitive tummy.
Narrated in the only style fitting for such a sophisticated Minilop. Arnold is a little fighter, and we are determined to get his balance just right!
