    Forage-only diet; what if I exclude grain completely from my rabbits' diet?

    My foraged diet for my rabbits is going well for the last 50 days, I can find herbs, fruits, veggetables, leaves and barks, but it is not easy to find grains in nature. Wild versions of the grains such as millet and oat have very limited amount of grains and they are restricted to a few months...

    New Zealand or Turkish "fortune teller" rabbit?

    The previous owner told me that it is a male Turkish rabbit. When I get home I double checked and she is clearly a female. The guy is not an actual rabbit seller so he has little to no knowledge about rabbit breeds. We have a red eyed white rabbit breed in Turkey, actually it is not actually...

    What breed are these and are their breeds large enough to be a meat rabbit?

    Full white rabbits are young females, spotted white and yellow rabbit is a male. Females are of the same breed, the male is apparently from an unrelated breed, so we are talking about two different breeds.. The owner is not acknowledged about rabbit breeds just like me and he thinks the females...
