Feed Opinions

[TRRFR]

I feed my rabbits a combination of 17% pellets, alfalfa pellets, BOSS (Black Oil Sunflower Seeds), oats, and just a tad of 10% sweet feed. I also give them alfalfa blocks.
Is this all good? I give maybe 3 cups of sweet feed per 5 gal bucket of the mix.
Thanks for any input.

Sounds good to me! There have been some negative results with sweet feed, but also plenty of positive results. I am in the midst of a sweet feed experiment right now. It is my rabbits' main ration, though I try to get it as light on the molasses as possible.

Depending on how much of their diet is pellets, they may need mineral block chunks to get enough minerals and salt. It's the red salt block at the feed store. You can put it into a small cup attached to the side of the cage, to protect the cage wire.
