I have a doe that is nursing 6 three week old kits and is also bred. Her and her babies are eating a tremendous amount of fodder daily. Yesterday I fed them right at 5 lbs of fodder. Should I be concerned they are not getting enough nutrients from the fodder? or is it typical for a doe to be eating this much considering her circumstances? I'm concerned she is not getting what she needs so is eating everything in sight. I also gave her some alfalfa, mulberry leaves, and beet leafs.....all gone quickly.
This may be nothing to be worried about, but I am new to rabbits and fodder and want to make sure.
Thanks.
