The top pic is rabbit feed only available in other provinces and the bottom is the goat feed I'm considering

So look at the ingredients and nutrient analysis of goat feed and rabbit feed and the only downfall is the fiber %. If I supplemented with sunflower seeds for fiber would that be enough? The feed I'm after is 17% protein min. and Im doing it because its cheaper and also they have 20% goat feed...

Rabbit poo too large for the holes and if I don't catch it quick enough it's a sucky pile to clean up. I feed all pellets and it seems to only be a problem during dry off periods

Yes I'm thinking 2 10x20 areas and I sell them live weight so it sounds like it might be a good venture..I mainly want to feed more hay since I won't have to worry about it clogging up my cages and get a small boost off my already 13 doe setup

I'm thinking about putting 20 does and 2 bucks in a colony outside for the summer months (may - October) how many kits could I expect from that time?

Rabbits I. The wild will dig a small hole then cover it with grass and other things to mask it..she's doing the same thing and would probably like to go through the holes she should be able to unblock what she's put in the pipes no problem

Happens all the time with mine too looks like there's no real harm done to the doe..I guess some like their hair pulled

Having trouble lately with kindling number with an average of 3-5 kits per litter when I was getting steady 8-10 earlier in the year. I'm free feeding pregnant and nursing does and their weights look good I'm rebreeding 7-10 days from birth depending on litter size and the pellets are 17%...

Wondering if there's any breeders in Ontario with great by the book meat rabbits I'm talking built full meaty rabbits

A lot of my trays are filling with water since installing the automatic watering system. Does anybody have a good pump that can pump this water through a small hose into a bucket? I've tried a couple but they all get clogged with fur or manure.

Doe had 15+ kits the other night (didn't want to disturb the NB too much) how can I help her produce as much milk as possible? No other does are due any time soon

They were clean enough I guess this time thank-you for the tips I'll be using them again

So they're going today what would be the fastest way to clean them up without hurting them? They'll be processed in max 2 days so do I really have to worry about the after effects of not washing them properly (of course still making sure they're bone dry after) have 8 rabbits to clean

I heard some animal raisers leave the lights on 24/7 for faster growth. Wondering if rabbits are more active at night would they have faster growth if you have them less light and more darkness?
