My main goal is really to just avoid the over processed rabbit feed, one reason is because I'd rather give them a more natural diet, but the most critical reason is it all has wheat in it and I can not handle gluten safely without it being a huge pain for me (mask, gloves, then strip clothing after I'm done). I don't want to go anywhere near it. They are currently eating alfalfa pellets and timothy hay, and I'm foraging around my garden and lawn for them too. Timothy grass is sprouting up all over my lawn as well as white clover. I also have a garden with plenty of brassica leaves and root tops to give them. And I have comfrey that I feed them too. I also have a big bag of BOSS and I have some rolled oats in my pantry I can give them. I have 2 nursing does, and one buck, and growouts. Is there a specific ratio I should make for them individually? And is there anything else I should throw in there for them? My biggest concern is that they are getting too much protein with the alfalfa and I don't want to cause any bladder or kidney problems or make them overweight. Other concerns I have is that I'm not correctly balancing their diet since I don't know what ratio to give them of each. And I don't know if I should have a salt lick in their cages too.
