This page is interesting, and a few recipes at the bottom of the page. https://www.pelletizermill.com/blog/how-to-make-rabbit-feed-pellet/

Nothing? Every time I buy bags of pellets the cost is in the hundreds of dollars, so the cost savings could really add up by making your own, besides other benefits, like so much less waste if my alfalfa / timothy hay is in pellet form and not wasted daily. It would also make the job of...

If the chickens can get at any part of the rabbit underneath, they will peck until there is blood, then peck even more. Protect the rabbits from the chickens please. Don't ask how I know.

So, I've run Timothy hay through a leaf shredder. Twice through definitely shreds it, but way too much of it ends up being dust, I mean lots of it, and the buns don't seem to like eating dust (I can't blame them). If this rain ever lets up, I will try running it through just once. I still...

I have their J-feeders mounted below the hay manger and the feeder catches much of the excess. So that does help. For other cages, I wired in place bread loaf pans (bought 10 on Amazon for $30) under the hay manger to catch the excess. That helps too, even though some buns literally fill the...

In general, what I read is that it takes months for the pellets to slow release and naturally break down. The rabbit urine provides instant nutrition as well as works as an insecticide....and also to be used as an insecticide it must be applied to the foliage in very diluted form. Both seem to...

How about rabbit urine? Bunny Wiz?

I really like that idea, but have you looked at the cost of a pellet making machine?

Ya know? Maybe this type of chipper would do the job well enough. Even if the material has to be pushed through more than once. I just wonder if the hole at the top is very big. I have seen some that is so small they limit the size of branches that can be fed in...so that would be sort of...

Yea, I agree. A stampede of buns!

Very good to know. Maybe I can confirm the self regulating evidence. I feed small amounts to a lactating doe that is underweight. She is frantic to get to the BOSS, but usually does not finish the small mount I give her at one time.

That would be ideal.

I have thought about this and would be willing to try. My only concern is: would the results be uniform enough? The machine I have in mind cuts everything into pellet size pieces. Still, I have seen leaf mulcher used to chop hay (used to build and reinforce clay / adobe / slip) effectively...

I have built many machines, and I agree it could be done, but re-inventing the wheel is usually very expensive. In India they are sold for a couple hundred dollars.

I have seen those and they would probably work. But, they cut fast enough to throw the fodder 10 feet up a 5 foot wall. I think they cost about 5 times as much too. It may be that the machine I am looking at is much slower, which is fine with me and possibly is a much older design. Mostly...

Sorry, My mistake. It seems I responded to the wrong post. I did not intend to respond to microgreens. Just a general comment on too much BOSS.

Maybe it bothers me more than it should...because I don't like waste, much less having to clean up the mess, but it seems that if I can feed hay in cut form, it would be much cleaner and much less wasteful. I already have their hay mangers located above their feeders, and therefore catch lots...

I feed my buns sunflower stalks and leaves, and they love them. However, I have read that the seeds are very high fat for them and to only feed a teaspoon per bun per day. In other words, I would look it up to see how much to feed them. Fat rabbits do not produce large (if any) litters. I do...
