    Role of vinegar (if any) as drinking additive

    I use ACV in my bunny water and they do like it. I have never had a problem with mites.

    Feeding alternative diet to Pellets?

    I think the point of saying it was a legume was to indicate it’s not grass hay which is safe. The best feed for rabbits is horse hay that can haze from zero to 20% Alfalfa (Legume). But great explanation.

    Question For The Experts

    I doubt very strongly that any of us are going to starve anytime soon from eating rabbit, caribou or grouse. Our diets have other foods in them. However if you are just the muscle meat from the above animals you would get protein starvation.

    The key is don’t interfere they will figure things out. My recommendation is start with young adolescent rabbits in your colony. I also keep my old Does as they have earned their keep, they also keep stability in the colony.

    Colony for the summer

    I agree so many people with opinions but have never raised a rabbit in the freedom of a colony. I have bought a few caged rabbits to introduce to my colony in the past and it’s quite honestly like they are ******** when they become free. A better choice of words may be they have Stockholm...

    Question For The Experts

    Exactly we don’t just eat rabbit muscle meat in our Mordor diet. We cook it in fat and have other stuff with it. However rabbit, caribou and grouse all have low fat content and in the old days one could starve with a full belly. That’s why those meats were traditionally eaten with fat or lard.

    I raise rabbits in a colony set up. I use one buck at a time as you will find one buck will become dominant. I have 8 does and change the bucks out every 3 months. My pen is 2500 square feet with 3 artificial warrens made from straw bales and I put covers on top. My rabbits do burrow and have...
