My rabbits won't eat grass?!

[TeetleTottle]

My two girls are over a year old and healthy. They love hay/straw/pellets/carrot. Their main diet is hay and I give them a few pellets. The odd carrot treat. They aren't over or under weight. They are mini Rex rabbits (with a bit of a random breed thrown in I think) so they aren't big.

They won't eat grass. I've had rabbits for years and all my rabbits have loved mowing my lawn. These girls sit and look at me like I'm crazy. If I pick a daisy and poke it through, they will eat it. They might even eat a blade of grass if I hand feed it. But they won't sit and happily graze on my lawn.

No other rabbit has turned their nose up at my lawn. Have I just got two snobs?

I've tried googling but all it does is come up with why rabbits won't eat hay, not fresh grass.

I'm a bit bewildered. And I would like them to keep the grass down...earn their keep a bit

As long as rabbits diet is mainly of hay or grasses and their poops are a good size, shape and colour. I wouldn't worry about grass! Indoor rabbits rarely, if ever get grass.

A rabbit over the age of 6 months should ideally have:
1 tablespoon of good quality pellets, like Science selective or Burgess Excel, to 1 tablespoon per kg of rabbit maximum a day.
Unlimited access to hay (no alfalfa)
A cup of a variety of mixed veg/herbs/weeds a day.
No more than a coin size piece of root veg (like carrots) or fruit a day.

No nuts, seeds, corn, leeks, garlic, onion or anything containing dairy.
A lot of toys and shop bought treats are not actually suitable and can cause blockages, as they cannot digest them properly.

Straw should be provided more for bedding and warmth, so please make sure hay is available at all times, as well as straw. It won't hurt for them to eat it though! I know mine certainly do.
I'm unsure if daisies are okay, there are lots of mixed reviews, I do know however than dandelions are great, the flower, stem and the roots! You can even dehydrate them for the months they aren't around.

I get what you mean about earning their keep! They are certainly not cheap pets, like many think.
