If you're not doing so already, give them about a cup of oats in the mornings and it should help round them out.

And I may be the oddball here, but I kinda like #1 and #2.


Did you mean a TBL of oats???

Certainly a cup of oats sounds like way too much! I'd hold off until you get confirmation of the amount.

None of my rabbits would eat a cup a day, esp if they were getting pellets. Actually, a cup of pellets is all they eat, really.

I no longer have these does or buck anyways, but will send the info to the folks who now own them. :) Thanks guys!

Thanks for bringing that one to my attention. I meant to type half cup, but got a bit hurried. A half cup of a 50-50 mix of oats and barley are what I've used to get some flesh condition improvements with some of my rabbits. It's worked wonders on Sid.
