I made my raw food as planned. I put a dollop of it out as a snack last night. Even though she was very intent on the making of it, Poppy sniffed at it, gave me strange looks, and went back to sleep.
This morning I replaced 25% of her normal food with raw. She gets wet with additional water normally. So I plopped the raw down right alongside the wet. She ate about 2/3 of the raw right off the bat. Five minutes later her dish was licked clean. It's been less than an hour, but no vomiting or anything.
So I've been wondering--Poppy had a bladder stone last spring, but we haven't seen any signs of recurrence. She doesn't have any large health issues which affect her behavior currently. She did have hairballs, but we started her on 100% wet in June. Her last hairball was in mid-July. Not sure if the hairballs have gone away temporarily due to summer/less shedding. Her coat is already glossy and rabbit soft (literally, it's soft like rabbit fur). She's got a pretty sweet and laid back personality. So how will I know if the raw diet is helping her?
