I am looking for anyone's recommendations on percentage of protein for meat rabbits. What do you use?
I am struggling with my local feed store about their feed. They had a "store brand" that had 16% protein. Now they are switching brands because of "restructuring." I went for almost 2 weeks on a 13% protein because that was all they had. I had one litter born too early and lost all.
Then store offered another brand that is 15%. I am really not happy, but can't afford to drive 50 miles for feed once a week or so.
I can get a Purina 18% protein, but it is about $4 a bag more expensive. They have offered to bring it in if people would buy it. I suggested they talk to other customers who buy their feed and get their opinion.
Even if I drove to Olympia, I only have one other feed store to buy from.
