Okay first, I am not trying to starve my rabbits, just want to cut back on costs so I can feed a raw mainly rabbit diet to my dogs :)


Right now I am feeding TSC 5# rabbit pellets,$14 a bag plus grass hay, (I pull it off of my round bales for the horses costs me $20 for 1200 # bale)....



I can get 50# oats for $12 a bag, an 40# alfalfa pellets for $11, amazing quality alfalfa hay for $6 a bale 65+#


In the spring I am putting out a garden so the rabbits will get scraps, and yard clippings, I am also raising in an outdoor colony,... I plan to build a raised "plant bed" in the center, and put wire on top so the rabbits can only eat down so far, I will also rotate pens so they will have graze on the ground too. (They are currently in a colony, but I can't build the bed till it warms up)


So should I stick with pellets or try something different ? I want to reduce my costs as much as possible :)
