So I sprout mung beans for us - why not the buns? I do not sprout them until the green shows just a few days so there's maybe an inch of white sprout, that is when we like them best. How much should I add? I know mung beans can be low in some amino acids but I don't know enough about rabbit nutrition to know if that's so much of an issue.
Right now my buns are eating grass hay (basically poor quality hay but clean and well stored - not contributing much other than fiber) free choice as well as about 1/2c of either a 16% for bucks or 18% for does and kits pelleted feed. I just leave the does on the 18% so they don't have to switch back and forth constantly.
Should I add a small bit of alfalfa with the mung beans to balance out the AA profile better for the buns? Anyone know much about this? How much mung bean sprouts should I feed per rabbit per day - just want them to get the great benefits of some of the sprouts!
I read on here a lot of people feed barley sprouts as well, I could pick up a sack of barley and sprout that as well. ??
