Rabbit not eating greens

Question
I have had my house rabbit for 2 months, and am a first time house rabbit owner.  

Lucy was abandoned on a local vet's front stoop.  My exotics vet is unsure of her age except, that she is a younger adult.  She had a checkup last week and all her labs are normal, her teeth are perfect, and she has completely healed from being spayed.  

I give her unlimited hay, a bunch of parsley or romaine hearts and a treat every day.  I mix this up with broccoli and radishes, and very small amounts of blueberries, strawberry tops, or an orange slice.  At first, she would forgo the pellets and eat only the hay, greens and her fruit, which I was fine with.  

This past week she has started shedding and she has been leaving the greens and treats and eating only pellets (1/8cup two times a day) and hay.  Should I take her pellets away while she is molting?  Should I be worried?  Her stools are the normal amount for her and the right consistency.  

She has also decided not to hang out in her cage and it is a battle to herd her in there at night (we do not pick her up) Could this be why she is not eating greens?  Has she decided the NIC condo is not her "space"  Is there something we did to encourage this?  Her condo is 3' x 4' with a second story, plenty big for one bun.  She grunts, yanks on her cage door, and stomps after I shut it for bed.

Answer
Hi,

don't worry about the greens.  Rabbits do not require greens to survive.  If she doesn't want to eat them, don't give her any.  Or just give her a few, perhaps it's too much for her to handle.  Not every rabbit eats a lot of greens.  Some are very happy with good hay, food pellets, the very small little treats we give them, and wicker items to chew/eat, seagrass items to nibble, and hay cubes.

If she is still pretty young greens and fruit can actually do harm to them as their gi tract is not matured enough to deal with them without going imbalanced and possibly causing gas/gi stasis.

Also, their tastes for different things can and will change over time.  I would avoid the orange slices forever, they are too acidic for rabbits.  You need to give them milder (less acidic) fruits (in the future, not now) like a small apple slice, a very small banana piece, a piece of papaya, etc.

One thing we do to get some of our guys up at night is give them something to go up for.  One guy gets the second half of dinner.  After a few hours out he is hungry and will go up after he sees us put the rest of dinner in there.  Two others get their nightly treats which they love and will go up easily to get it.

Try this approach, because then they feel they have made the decision to go up.
