So this might seem like a stupid question, but rabbits will eat as much hay as is necessary on their own... right?
Because it always seems like there's a lot of leftover (un-soiled) hay in Linus's cage every morning. I know he does eat some -- I've seen him, but I'm worried that he might not be eating enough to properly wear down his teeth.
And on the subject of wearing down his teeth -- I have these little wood blocks in his cage for him to chew on, and he doesn't. Ever. Not one nibble! He loves to chew on cardboard, but never these blocks. Is that an issue when it comes to his teeth, or does that just mean he doesn't feel the need to yet? In other words, much akin to hay, does a rabbit just know when it needs to chew and does so?
