Update to my January post, since I've changed my formula a little since then, learning and simplifying as I go. This is what we've settled on and have been doing for the past few months. Just finished one litter of seven fryers a month ago, and now raising another of eight. A typical feeding looks like this:
-A mixture of cut forage, as much as they will eat, optimally about 1/4 grasses, 1/4 legume forage (like Cajanus cajan, cowpeas, or wild plants like Leucaena leucocephala, Chamaecrista nictitans, etc.), with the remaining half consisting of a mixture of herbs, garden greens, sweetpotato leaves and vines, and other edible foliage.
-A handful per adult rabbit of "energy foods," consisting of a mixture rolled oats, sunflower seeds, sliced root crops (carrots, sweetpotatoes, beets), and chopped sugarcane (unpeeled). We always feed the oats and sugarcane daily, but don't always have all of the other things.
Pregnant does get extra oats and legume forage for extra energy and protein. Each hutch has a salt spool. The only feed ingredients purchased, incidentally, are the rolled oats and the salt, which is nice (an important goal for me from the beginning of the endeavor was to minimize off-farm inputs).
