Anyone out there know what the feed to meat ratio is for rabbits? How many pounds of feed does it take to get one pound of meat. Rex & Californian in particular.
Thanks

It seems that if they can always choose the pellets then the growth rates ought to be the same either way, because a young growing critter will rarely turn down the energy rich food in favor of the energy poor one.
I always thought the "mixed" rations that caused slower growth were where some pellets were replaced by hay, say by a crazy "frugal" person like me, who will sometimes go a little too far with her penny pinching.

Thank you!
