What are you doing to protect your herd
from the ravages of the coming colder weather?
I have blocked off all unnecessary openings
in the entry ways to the rabbitry.
Outside cages are covered on three sides with clear plastic sheeting and a Tarp or clear plastic sheet dropped down in front which may be raised or lowered as weather demands. I have prepared a special additive mix of: Sweet Feed, Black oil sunflower seeds and rolled oats
to help the rabbits hold and produce added heat and maintain condition. This is fed buy the occasional
handful placed on top of the feed hopper.
This is time consuming but I feel it is a necessary evil. I feed my rabbits a measured amount of feed daily.
Each rabbit is fed as an individual so that they may get what they need to maintain themselves.
Some members of the herd require more and some less than another individual. With constant surveillance
one gets to know each individuals ins and outs.
I take pride in knowing the needs of each member of the herd. What are some things that you do for your charges?
