The wild rabbits seam to love the leaves from my plum tree

@westmeadowrabbits 2 месяца назад

If the wild rabbits eat it, then it should be good for domestic as well!

Thanks for info. Learning about rabbits before I make a go and build my beginner rabbitry. Cheers and greetings from Croatia. PS. I was trying to find info about chestnut leaves are they good to feed to the rabbits, but only managed to find info about Horse chestnut. In my area there is a lot of sweet chestnuts.hmm

Yes, when I was pregnant I carved ice 24/7. It's all I could think about!! Turns out I had very low iron 😅 that's why 😂

That's so crazy how that happens!

You could just feed your rabbits your cover crop cuttings.

@westmeadowrabbits 3 месяца назад

If you've got them you sure can! Although for larger fields it would make more sense to use goats and sheep to harvest the cover crop.

This is so underrated! I love the idea of a leaf hay! We are moving, and our new property is huge with a ton of leaves. Do you know if fall leaves make good hay too?

@westmeadowrabbits 18 дней назад

They do! As long as they aren't wet the rabbits love them. i have a few videos on using them.

@matthewhurst6718 Месяц назад

Hi, What about using hay cubes vs loose hay? Does it matter? I find it to be a easy way to avoid a lot of waste. I am also feeding a pellet diet.

@westmeadowrabbits Месяц назад

Despite some waste, I think you would save a lot of money feeding regular hay. I get a 50lb bale for around 10 bucks or less from the feed store. With mangers, maybe 10-15% is wasted, but that just turns into compost.

What do you think of Azolla plant ☘️ for feeding Rabbit 🐇

@westmeadowrabbits 3 месяца назад

You should be able to fee it to rabbits. Start slow and see how they like it!

@noah786 2 месяца назад

Do you know if sumac, leaves and roots, are edible? Also vining roots? Thanks

@westmeadowrabbits 2 месяца назад

I'm not sure to be honest, that sounds like something more suited to goats than rabbits. Roots are usually the most toxic parts of plants so I would avoid feeding to rabbits.

@BraxtonMapson 3 месяца назад

I had a question, I gave my rabbits nature wise green bag 18% protein and they all got bloat and started dying off almost like it was to much for there stomachs. I have 16% mana pro now and supplementing it with alfalfa should be good right?

@westmeadowrabbits 3 месяца назад

I'm not familiar with the brands, but that seems odd. If you switch rabbit foods suddenly they might have issues, but ideally they shouldn't. Were you feeding the rabbits hay (not alfalfa) regularly?

@westmeadowrabbits 3 месяца назад

@@BraxtonMapsonVery interesting. Could be a lot of things, but as general rule introduce new foods slowly.

Since we started feeding dogs pellets they lost 40% of their lifespan on avg... food for thought

@westmeadowrabbits 2 месяца назад

I don't feed my dog pellets! But my rabbit's are for meat so I'm not really concerned about their natural lifespan.

@faegrace7313 22 дня назад

What would you say to people who claim feeding greens from your yard is dangerous? I think they are concerned about parasites/bacteria from the dirt or from wild rabbits. Do you think there's anything to that, or is it just fear-mongering?

@westmeadowrabbits 22 дня назад

Its a fair, if exaggerated point. The primary reason I raise rabbits in cages is to avoid parasites and disease. That being said, the risk is only moderate with grasses, and nonexistent for leaves form plants growing more than a few inches off of the ground. If I was in an area with an active outbreak of RVHD and a large wild rabbit population, then I would be cautious. Otherwise I think its mostly fear-mongering.
