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...

I love the concept of feeding a more natural, easier to source and less wasteful diet! All huge plusses in my book. Could you tell me about how you grind or cut up your hay?
