New Feeding Regimen

Today will mark the beginning of a feeding trial with a new regimen. I think I had tried it before, I'm not certain why I stopped. Effective immediately, I will be mixing sweet feed in with the rabbit pellets at a ratio of 50-50. However, I am a little concerned about fiber levels doing this, so I also picked up a bag of alfalfa hay cubes to include. I may attempt to locate a square-bale hay provider as well, but if not straw will provide any missing fiber. I admit, I'm a little nervous trying this out. However I have it on good recommendation from another show breeder who does a very similar routine. We shall see how it works out, at least for these terrible cold months.

  1. I would be interested in hearing about your results! Do you prefer alfalfa over timothy hay? I have always been told that alfalfa has more protein than you need.
