My bunny won't eat hay or pellets after I changed his diet. Why?

Question

my king is a 2 months old double mane lion head bunny. i’ve been feeding him pellets,hay, lettuce, and very thin sliced cucumbers. i took him off the lettuce and cucumbers a few days ago because i notice he wasn’t eating his hay or pellets. now i’m starting to get worried because he just nibbles on his hay or pellets little by little. his poop looks normal to me and it’s not dry. I wanna know what’s wrong with my baby. is it because he’s coming of age? or is he stress? what’s wrong with him? Pet's info: Small Animal | Rabbit | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 2 days old

Your bunny was probably just used to eating the lettuce and is adjusting to his new diet. You did the right thing by offering him only the pellets and hay. This is what is most beneficial to him. Since his stools are normal I would not worry at this point. If he stops passing stools, stops eating, or if you suspect he is losing weight, then you should take him to the veterinarian to be checked out. I hope this helps.
