I want to change my rabbits to natural. I've been to TSC to check what they sell based on some of what I skimmed over here today. Here's what I have come across and what do you guys think - would it be doable?
I can get:
All grain - oats/barley/corn
Whole oats
Alfalfa hay
Oat/Timothy/Alfalfa hay mixture (we don't have another reliable source of quality hay)
BOSS
various bird seeds
In addition I already feed my rabbits a wide variety of foraged weeds and garden scraps. I mostly need to create the "base" of the diet. I asked the guy at TSC about ordering wheat and barley, he was reluctant and just said he didn't think they'd do custom orders (with fewer than 10 rabbits at the moment, I don't buy much feed as it is).
I guess I just need some guidance on what I can feed the rabbits to make a good, wholesome diet out of what is available to me. I would like to start growing alfalfa, perhaps oats and clover in a corner of my yard next year.
