So I would like to turn the rabbit manure I have into an additional stream of income. I could sell the manure outright, I could use the manure in a compost system and sell the worm castings, or I can sell the worms for fishing. My initial thought was to sell both. But the more research I do I...

I have 2 bred NZW females and a male. I feed almost all pellets and right now I give them a 5 oz tuna fish can at night and in the morning I give them a shot glass full of oats. I am wondering if someone could provide me with recommended amount of feed for : A non pregnant doe, a pregnant doe...
