rabbit wont eat hay

Question
my 7 month old holland lop will not eat any hay.  i've had him for 5 months and i've tried all sorts of hay and different brands.  i've limited his pettets and even provided interesting ways to obtain the hay so he would be more inclined to eat it.  He really should be eating hay but he barely eats any, maybe two little pieces a week!  please help!

Answer
Hi Shnnon,
I wouldn't worry too much about this, rabbits have a natural instinct to take in what they need.  I'm sure he's eating more hay than you see...don't worry,if he's happy and healthy, and seems to be ok in general you're doing great!
