    How to stop/minimize this

    Rabbit poo too large for the holes and if I don't catch it quick enough it's a sucky pile to clean up. I feed all pellets and it seems to only be a problem during dry off periods

    Pump for water filled trays

    A lot of my trays are filling with water since installing the automatic watering system. Does anybody have a good pump that can pump this water through a small hose into a bucket? I've tried a couple but they all get clogged with fur or manure.

    Light schedule for faster growth

    I heard some animal raisers leave the lights on 24/7 for faster growth. Wondering if rabbits are more active at night would they have faster growth if you have them less light and more darkness?

    Using KMR or goat milk

    Has anyone tried providing either goat milk or kitten milk replacer to growing kits after they're weekend from mom? Thinking it would help them get a big boost in growing rates. Thoughts?
