The Snack Rack is Back!

Daisy

Daisy has always loved her food & now she ages she doesn’t move around as much. Not due to any medical conditions really, in truth I think she has just got lazy.  For the last few years it has been a battle to keep her weight to an ok level.  When she lived with Teddy who was a Flemish Giant, that is when she really piled on the grams. Teddy needed a substantial more food than the average bunny. So we devised something we named the snack rack.

The Snack Rack – A simple solution that worked well.

The snack rack was put at Teddy’s height so Daisy could not reach & he could enjoy extra food to keep him at a good weight.

Snack rack filled with Fibafirst sticks.

The snack rack was filled with Fibafirst sticks  so Teddy could pick away to his hearts content.  After Teddy’s passing & Daisy getting a new husbun in the shape of Apollo, who is a large bunny, the weight gain started again. So out came the snack rack.  Now fortunately, Apollo is very food orientated so he learned pretty quickly what he needed to do.  Here he is in action:

So far the snack rack is working well, in fact Daisy has lost some weight.  Apollo isn’t as good as Teddy was at fending Daisy off when she tries to take it off him but the solution for that was to give smaller pieces. Works a treat!
