ok i know this is a touchy subject around here and im not trying to egg it on ..but do you guys think that maybe ur both right when it comes to proper diet...
the breeders say pellet only diet is fine and theyve had great results from it..
the rescuers say 80% of buns diet should be hay and the rest greens with a smidge of pellets...
do u think that maybe since breeders cull and get rid of all their buns with any kinda genetic or flaw that most of the buns that they keep for any amount of time are the perfect specimen of rabbit....no teeth issues no weak immune systems...thats all been culled out hasnt it.....all pellet diet is fine for good bred rabbits....
but the rescuers who seem to get the buns that rabbitries dont keep ,the so called rejects(only word i could think of sorry)...then rescuers have to alter the diet more for genetic health issues....gotta tweak the diet for those fast growing teeth...so more hay...
.....just a thought.
