So how long do you free feed your replacement stock.?
When I first started out, my rabbits were 8 weeks old and I was told to feed them 1 cup of feed a day so they wouldn't get fat. Later on I learned of a formula (pds of rabbits to ounces of feed, I think it was 1.5% or maybe 2% of body weight) and that worked out to the 1 cup I had been feeding. So once my rabbits hit 8 weeks I started to cut them back to the 1 cup per day per head. But now I wonder if I'm under feeding the rabbits that I want to grow out for replacements.
What do you do?
