Hay- yes hay is Hay is dried grass and you can purchase it from hay dealers in your area. Some people use the term hay to mean alfalfa hay. Alfalfa is a legume in the bean family and is not an actual hay. The types of hay you should look for is horse hay which typically includes meadow grass...

The wider variety of plants and grains you can feed your rabbits the better off you are in the future as the rabbits will develop a taste for the variety of plants. People who live where they can get kelp for feed is another awesome nutrient rich feed. In my area in Canada it is very expensive...

That’s awesome, I have mine trained so as I am approaching the pen I call out “Come On Girls” and they know I am bringing food so they come running up out of the burrows or the warrens. Mine are sprouted field pea addicts! However I do feed whole oats and black oil seeds, the oil seeds more so...

I have a 3000 sq ft pen. My rabbits are outdoors 24/7. There is trees and shrubs in my pen along with several warrens I made for them. They have also made tunnels and dens in the burrows. I have 8 Doe’s and two bucks that stay together all the time. I live in Manitoba Canada.

I cut entire limbs and they strip all the bark fast.

They look good, interesting breed. I had never heard of it prior to your post.

I have a large colony enclosure, last year had 3 does and a buck I butchered over 100 fryers.

The Tamuks sound like a good breed for hot places. I am from Manitoba Canada we get some really hot summers and really cold winters here. But your summers are extremely hot eh? I have only been to the southern states in the winter. Post some pics when you get set up.

That’s awesome to hear and you’re rabbits will be much happier for it.

I feed a lot of leaves and branches as well. They love them. Nice to people diversifying their feed.

Unfortunate that your litter got worms and didn’t make it. When I feed my sprouted pea and wheat mix I sprinkle diatomaceous earth food grade on them when they are still slightly damp. The diatomaceous earth kills internal parasites and I use it as a preventative measure. It also has many other...

Anytime, we are all here to help one another!!

Dust bath yes some dry soil, wood ash, diatomaceous earth and sand. I use about 3 or four cups of diatomaceous earth food grade and the rest just go by ear no special volumes. I use rubber maid tubs with a hole cut into them and a lid is a must. It will keep your heard free of mites and ticks

Your rabbits can live their entire lives eating grasses and nothing else. The only thing I add is a small mineral block and a small blue salt block. The only thing with feeding grass or hay only is your kits will grow slower. But when you add whole oats dry. Field Peas soaked. I also give my...

Two not to lol

If you had live stock like horses grazing on your place the grass will be suitable for bunnies. Also talk to your hay dealers that bale hay for horses. When I sprout wheat and pea mix I soak 4 yogurt containers of dry mix in a 5 gallon pail of water for 24 hours. Then I transfer to another 5...

find the native grasses that your bunnies enjoy, a rule of thumb is any horse hay is good for Rabbits. Look for organic grains and field peas . Soak some of the grains and get them to sprout the available nutrients for your bunnies explodes!
