I know that each has their own taste performance, but that aside. How much is a typical square bale in your area? I'm also checking the local ads for it. But want to make sure that I get the right stuff.
I have fostered wild rabbits in the past and they just LOVE clover. AND I mean LOVE it.
These little ones came from the Western Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center (St. Joe prison). Mother was used as a football. Some of the prisoners stepped in and saved these 4. Guys that killed the mother got time in the hole. The one that started it got stabbed by someone. :shrug:
Anyways,
We have a huge clover patch in the side pasture from Spring till early Fall. Provided it is cleaned and is pesticide free, would that be OK for my adult buns?

For those that feed hay, does this chart come close to hitting the mark with your rabbits?

That chart is for sprouted barley fodder (a fresh green feed, as opposed to a dried hay product), so wouldn't apply to hay. If you would add it to one (or more) of our discussion threads on fodder, I think many people would find it to be very helpful.
