Thinking of transtioning your pet to a new hay or just want to add in something new to their diet? The transition should take about a week. Some pets may need a longer period if they are particularly sensitive or picky.
Here is a step-by-step guide:
Days 3-4: Mix 50% of the new hay with 50% of the old hay.
Days 5-6: Mix 75% of the new hay with 25% of the old hay.
Day 7 and beyond: Offer 100% of the new hay.
If your pet shows signs of digestive upset, slow down the transition. Stay longer at each stage if necessary.
Avoid sudden changes in other aspects of your rabbit’s diet during the transition period.
Ensure your pet has access to fresh water at all times.
Consult your veterinarian if issues persist or if your rabbit has special dietary needs.
