I have two females in one side of hutch, they dig their pellets out of feeder, wasting most of it.
I've never had this problem with rabbits before.

The lady I bought my rabbits from have them just a half a soda bottle full everyday she said if you don't they'll waste a bunch. I have the big meat rabbits.

Try a broader dish to give them some room to push the stuff around, blend in some cheap groats to make em work for it.

Ours get picky at times, usually means they are spoiled (the rabbits,not the pellets), cut the rations and they respond.

It's in a small gravity feeder, same one I've used for decades, but these two seem to dig it out for some reason

Move the feeder a little higher if ya can. Are they bred or maybe time to be? Maybe put some chicken wire over the opening of the feeder and throw some chew toys in the cage.


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I'll try going higher, they are slightly larger than the Polish miniature rabbits
