Yea, sounds like he's got a bit of an obsession with his food. I don't keep to a routine with my pets when its to do with feeding, I just feed them when they've eaten all the food thats in their bowl. Apart from the dog, I meant the smaller ones. Clymo, like I said, gets fed every 2/3 days, he always has his hay, vegs and fruit isn't a big thing for him, he's not that interested in many "treats" like that. He does like our dogs biscuits though

lmao

Well unless you're saying "he's a greedy...." because of the way he loses his temper when he's about to be fed treats, then yes it sounds like it.

Other than that, maybe you should get him neutered? Or maybe he just loves his food?

Our vet mentioned to us that Clymo was really chubby and that putting him on a diet would sort that out. We asked how? Because he loved his food. She told us to cut back on his mixed stuff and feed him more hay and veg/fruits, which he always got too but would likely leave and eat his mixed stuff.

The "treat" type of things you get from stores, we don't buy for our little ones, they just cost too much, don't last long enough for us to buy regularly and also I'd rather give my boys natural treats like a bit of apple once in a while, a couple of carrots a week, some cabbage, celerey and so on, which we always have in the house anyway so they basically get what we have ourselves.

Funny I dont remember asking for your advice??? And I don't remember saying we gave him shop bought treats either.

You don't have to be so rude to me, I wasn't being rude to you. Neither would you have posted anything if you weren't asking for advice, I was being polite and telling you what I knew.

And I didn't say you bought your rabbit treats from a store, I didn't mean "you" as in you personally, just saying the ones that are in stores that people can buy.

I was asking if anyone had bunnies that do anything simular hence the question above. Not asking for advice, as I don't have a problem with his behaviour, though you seem keen to suggest there is a problem.

You're the one who mentioned "demanding" and the way you described how he is before you give it to him, sounds like a problem to me. I only passed on what I knew from what my vet told me about my rabbit. It may not be a problem to you but you obviously haven't had a rabbit do that before otherwise you'd know about it, I was just trying to help..

You wanna watch your lip, you don't EVER say things like that to someone you do not know!

I do not talk "crap", don't you EVER say that to me again!
