I was prompted to ask about this because of an article I read about mold and mycotoxins in the 2006 Annual Rabbits USA mag.

I'll see if they reference the resources for this article.

My sister and I buy a 50lb bag of rabbit pellets and we store them in a metal trash can in our shed. It has a lid that we put on and all. 1 50lb bag of food for 9 rabbits usually lasts a little over a month. For our hay bales, we used to go through like one every four-six months. But now that we give our buns more hay, we go through one like every 2-3 months. And then with babies or winter time we go through hay bales about once every two months. And with pellets and babies it is just a little shorter than over a month.

Sorry for that doulbe post. I forgot to say that our hay cost around eleven dollars and 1 50lb bag of food costs around ten dollars.

We purchase a 10 pound bag of pellets and portion it out into one week serving amounts. Example - we feed 1/8 cup in the morning and 1/8 cup in the evening per day. One week is about two (2) cups of pellets. The 10 pound bag will last about seven (7) weeks. The portions are sealed in(Foodserver brand) vacum packed plastic bags (about 7).
