I'm still looking at high yeilding, indestructable crops that could form a staple of my rabbits' diet. I was considering Jerusalem artichokes, as they are related to sunflowers and I know sunflower stalks can be fed. Then I wondered about the actual tubers, which led me on to wondering about the effects of inulin on rabbits (that's the stuff that gives "fartichokes" their nickname :roll: )
Anyway, I found this paper talking about the effects on caecal pH. Now, what I can't work out is whether a low caecal pH is a good thing or not?
Any ideas?
