Greetings! I am new to this forum. I have been raising meat rabbits for approximately 1 year. I started out by feeding them pellets, but gradually switched them to a non-commercial, natural diet. I watched youtube videos and read various articles on this topic. Basically what I have gathered on the matter is the rabbits should graze on grass as a substantial part of their diet. The remainder of their diet can consist of weeds, leaves, vegetable scraps, fruit scraps, etc. This is pretty much what their diet consists of. My question is, since they are not getting commercial pellets, which theoretically would give them a balanced diet in terms of nutrients, is there anything else I need to be giving them? A typical day's diet would consist of the following for my rabbits: grass, leaves, 1/2 cup or so of leafy greens, possibly potato peelings and a few pieces of fruits. Doe this sound like a well rounded diet for a rabbit that does not consume pellets? Would this diet I put forth give the rabbit the sufficient protein, calcium, vitamins, minerals and all them other essential nutrients the rabbit needs to live a healthy life and produce healthy kits?
