Hey guys I was just wonder for you breeders out there what you feed your rabbits. Here is my list of rations.
6 - 8 oz Blue Seal Bunny 16 (Proper protein levels to keep in good coat condition longest and good growth rate with the babies)
1 - 3 Teaspoons of Manna Pro Calf Manna. (1 teaspoon for maintenence and growing babies, 2 for last week of pregnancy and 3 for nursing does. My rabbits love this. They condition very easily on it, the babies grow fast with it and if I have a problem with a rabbit that won't eat this will usually bring their appetite back really quick. You have to watch the protein content but great for nursing does and growing youngsters. I use it for those that are molting as well)
Lots of high quaility fresh timothy hay.
1 teaspoon Rolled oats for the skinny ones and the ones that aren't growing as well.
Wheat germ or sunflower seeds for poor fur (Haven't had any problems since starting calf manna though.)
And for a helpful playtoy/treat I give them sticks off an apple tree, some dandelions and toilet paper tubes stuffed with hay.
