I picked up a salt lick, because where ever rabbit supplies are sold they have them. It is white and looks like a donut. I wired it to side of cage. Months later I see no signs of use. Do Rabbits really need salt licks ? He always has bowl of rabbit pellets, fed any old vegetable/fruit from fridge and lots of weeds, plus branches of mulberry. Should I be worried about his lack of salt intake ? The weeds he chooses himself when he tractored on lawn

With a widely varied diet, Harvey probably has everything he needs, but I'd leave it there anyway. It's only one bunny. Perhaps his need for extra salt (minerals are usually included) isn't big, but that doesn't mean he's not taking a lick now and again.
