Hey,
Real quick I was wondering what all you use as a sort of rabbit "vitamin". A sort of everyday thing to keep your rabbits healthy.
Thanks!
 
Good hay, fresh greens, grains, clean water, fresh air... and love of course! :D

Not the magic pill you were looking for, I know, but it seems to be working pretty well so far!

There is one other thing- I mix 1 cup of diatomaceous earth into every 50lbs of feed. If I have a "magic" something that would be it!
 
I agree with MamaSheepdog. Rabbits getting a varied and appropriate diet and good living conditions and care do not normally need a vitamin. If you are not feeding pellets, however, you do need to provide a trace mineral salt block.
 
Myself I use vitamins through my watering system periodically. There are several multi breed vitamin solubles that are all about the same. I use it when I feel my rabbits need a little extra to help get them over and through those stressful times without any problems. Before and after a trip to a show, weaning, times of extreme heat and whenever else one might be down.
 
I have occasionally used a B Complex on rabbits that are physically stressed== other than that, good, solid nutrition....
 
In high heat areas, I would recommend that a mineral block be available at all times ... not the white salt one, but the red one. Especially if they are getting a large feed of fresh greens daily :)
