Hay is a winter feed when there is no fresh grass in my opinion. But when winter comes they love the hay, remember hay is cured grass. People that don’t have access to fresh grass need to feed hay. Long stem grass like Timothy, orchard grass etc is very important for the health of the rabbits...

Exactly and many many trees help to keep bunnies from getting coccidia. Trees are the natural food of rabbits and have man beneficial properties for them. I fed white pine they love it. Here is a list of branches. I find that a lot people say, I read or someone said? I go by my experience and...

I feed 8 Does and 2 Bucks plus little ones. I increase or decrease as required. I just keep an eye on how they look.

Awesome way to experiment feeding. I agree and find the same thing, if they don’t like it they won’t eat it.

I have a litter that was born in mid January in Manitoba. Our temperatures were ranging-30 to -40 but much colder when you consider windchill. All 6 kits are running around and playing in the snow. The bunnies have good shelter, straw and feed. You’re right let the moms do the rest. As...

I feed field peas, what works for me is I have 4 pails , 2 pails have small holes in the bottom so the wheat and peas can't fall through. I place the pails with the holes in the bottom into the other pails. Then i put my amount of pea and wheat mix into the pail (I use a yogurt container full in...

Well if you look into it more you will find the opposite is true. No stone fruit to be fed to rabbits? However the bark is fine. I feed mine apricot and plumb tree branches no problem. I also feed evergreen and the bunnies enjoy the needles. I don't make tree hay although I may try this year. I...

Your hare comment - you didn’t read the article it says Rabbits and Hares. Also I said my proof is that I feed Aspen and poplar and many other species of trees and shrubs. I also said you do you and I will do my way many times throughout the conversation. Then you went onto cats and dogs...

Good to hear you feed raw. My dogs are fed the same way and have never eaten kibble. The litters of German Shepherd pups I have had were all started raw at 3 weeks old. The moment the purée raw goes down for the first time all the little noses go up in the air and they go to the smell...

You can press it too My rabbits are free range and kits eat the exact same diet as adults. They are healthy and happy. The only caution is in the spring when new grass emerges go slow when starting to feed it.. I also feed sprouted field peas the bunnies love them. Now this is what I do, you...

This whole thread is about an alternative diet to the store bought feed. You have no idea where food comes from and it’s not the store. I don’t care what you say what do ever, because you are clueless. Lions dogs cats and wolves can be fed the same if you feed naturally. Rabbits can eat a...

Ok, There are things called farms and they grow things, imagine that eh. I buy everything locally from farmers. I know all about dogs and cats but yet you continue with the lecture. Yes if you’re a person that buys dog or cat food from the store then yes. However dogs can eat cat food from the...

Again you move the goal post. By our conversation you feed dry poison dog and cat food and pellets to your rabbits. I feed meat to my dogs. I feed whole oats to my rabbits I feed hay to my rabbits I feed alfalfa pellets to my rabbits All of these items are cat and dog food or rabbit food. Oh...

But dogs and wolves can eat what cats eat because when you speak of large cats they eat other animals the same as dogs/wolf. The dog is a wolf. Horses and rabbits and hares all have very similar digestive systems. I do feed horse feed! I feed whole oats, horse hay ( Timothy alfalfa mix) and...

Why don’t the lion and the poodle do well eating the same food as the wolf and the lion have the same carnivore diet? The rabbit and the hare has the same type of digestive system and similar to a horse. There some variations in the size of the rear gut byt basically the same.
