    How long does it take to feed your rabbits?

    I only have 7 cages so it take about 15 minutes to give pellet water and hay. We keep water and hay racks full all day. So probably like 35 minutes a day.

    We in ohio dont dip to negative very often but lately been having low in around 5 f. So I give just them a 12 by 12 piece of wood to sit on. Any thing bigger and they make a mess on it.

    Am i feeding too much?

    I must be the outcast here. I never let them run out of Hay. When it comes to pellets my buck can only finish 5 to 6 ounces a day so that is what they get.
