Our rabbits have a metal pellet feeder that attaches to their cage. That's where the pellets go. I put greens on a plate and just stick it in the hutch. They devour them up in just a couple of minutes. there are no greens left after a couple of hours.

We also have metal hay mangers. My husband made ours. Here's a picture of the boys hay manger. Yes i need to refill their hay :)

yes she'll be missed. She was a sweet little thing and would let anyone hold her.

We've lost kits before, but they were always newborns. This is the first older kit we lost. She was 8 wks old. Honestly i had doubts as to whether she would live, so i was surprised she made it this long. She was the runt of the bunch. Her brothers and sisters towered over her. a lot of times...

I've been wondering this for a while, but kept forgetting to post it. This is mainly for those with a lot of rabbits (10+) but anyone can answer. How fast do your rabbits eat through a bail of hay? My rabbits consume 80lbs of hay in about 2wks time. It just seems like we get the hay and before i...

i voted pitch dark, but we do have a security light that may reach them (they're all outside)

My bunnies all live outside.
