I'm glad that I found a place I can ask "bunny" questions. lol.
About two weeks ago my mom bought my sons two flemish giant bunnies. We built an outside run (14ftX6ft) which they love. They have their own house (6ftX4ft) as well, filled with straw.
I am a tad bit confused about their "diet". I've read (and heard) different things and from past experience with rabbits,things just seem "different" now. We had meat rabbits(pets) as kids and they ate EVERYTHING. All the left over veggies and fruit and all the grass they wanted.They lived long, healthy lives and were in great body condition and over all health. Now I hear that I should NOT feedourFlemish Giants fruits or veggies :???
Currently we are feeding them 16.5% protein pellets, alfalfa hay and dandelions. We have given them celery twice as well. They sure do eat a lot each day and they are only 8 and 10 weeks old now.
Could some one PLEASE tell me what diet is ideal for a Flemish Giant and what veggies/fruit they can eat??
Thank you so much
