We're transitioning our recently bought rabbits (2 NZ does, pregnant as we hope, and one Silver Fox buck) onto natural food; they're eating a variety of greens and twigs eagerly, and we're using the advice from these forums about which plants are safe to give in quantity. But...
We have a spell of wet weather coming up and I'm not sure what to do. Cut greens ahead of time and spread them out on trays under cover to feed? I wasn't sure about that because I think I've read that wilted greens lose their nutritional value rapidly. Cut them wet and feed them in small quantities so the rabbits will eat them before they have time to mold? Are the rules for twigs and for soft green plants different?
Any advice greatly appreciated.
