Does are finally lifting, 100% willing to breed! YAY! Include my moody harlequin dutch - I really need her to go, but want to get some colors from her first... dummy me sold the one I wanted to keep from the last litter she had.
A couple of threads have been mentioning diet as a possible cause and I am thinking that is the case. I never had any issues with Bartlett feed, but had to switch after the F&S went out of business. I have been using Tractor Supply's feed (I can never remember the name... it will come to me later... tan and green bag). The rabbits really enjoy it, but maybe the scarfing of pellets (same ration I have always fed) isn't a good sign? I bought some of those cheap mineral discs and they have actually been licking on them (in the past when I bought them they went untouched so I thought they were pointless). Also feeding more rose and apple branch clippings, some wild onions, pinecones to chew on, and some veggies from the kitchen occasionally (carrots, apples, bananas, kale, etc.). They got a LOT of greens and veggies in the summer, but I tapered off this winter. I guess the combination of the feed change (back in July/August) and the lack of extras wasn't a good thing.
