Generally only dry kudzu, sweet potato vines and corn stocks, much of our summer garden is growing wheat and such fresh feed probly should re make a few videos this year.
great info. I did the same. I would also feed scraps from the garden, even things that is on the "not to feed lists" like cabbage/leaves, citrus branches n leaves it's all a matter of getting them use to it, bit by bit.
Free feed is the way to go! A cheap feed during the winter is to grow flats of wheat grass. It grows fast and is considered a "super food" for humans... So it's great for our bunnies too!
+Phil Alfred Great idea :) I'd love to do more of this, however, in the Winter we run our business which is based around the ski and tourism industry. During that time of the year, we are busier than a cat in a room full of rocking chairs, lol. I'm lucky to give them their pellets daily and we don't run the breeding operation past the end of the November. First breeding for us is March 1
excellent video for new ideas, but I wish it was a better quality, it is hard to tell some greens apart, they all look the same. Try HD setting next time?
You can dry it and store it. They will eat it dry as well. Especially the dandelion leaves. And that goes for the prickly cabbage you are showing. No need to compost it.
I love this video. Sometime i might make one of what I feed. I grow an herb garden for myself and trim it down feeding it to the rabbits when it's over grown. i feed rose clippings when they need pruned down. and of course weeds and fruit tree clippings. Leaves in the fall can be raked up and kept for throughout winter for them to eat. I have never had a baby bunny die and until buying new rabbits i have never had a rabbit die on me. From two separate sources i bought rabbits and had 2 die. I can't help but believe they weren't healthy to begin with.
KateInTheCity Thank You 😊Yes, we do supplement their feed with pellets (no hay), unless they’re in a rabbit tractor, then they just eat natural feed and we move them around. Thanks for stopping by.
Have any tips for raising kits by hand? I have a 4 week old (fixing to be 2 bunnies when I catch the other one) that witnessed the death of their syblings. These bunnies are the result of vegan/animal rights activists letting my rabbits loose. I have had this one in the house for 3 days. Not sure which rabbit was mom, but i think she abandoned them because of our neighbors cat (main suspect in kits disappearnce). We have recaptured most of my rabbits, and I'm going to trade some of my adults for new bloodlines.
At 4 weeks old, kits probably can survive away from the mother. I usually feed them cut, green grass and regular rabbit pellets. Plus make sure they have access to lots of water. Good luck :)
I know this video is two years old but wanted to mention that a lot of the weeds could be dried easily in your climate for winter feed.
Great comment! You are absolutely right - super idea.

There is a lot of good information in this video. Thanks for naming all those plants. Thanks or the video.
Mama Grows Thank You 😊 I had fun making it and hope to make an updated version soon

hey guys...catching up on yalls older stuff...good info tfs!
Hewett Homestead Welcome back :) Glad you could stop by 👍😊
We plant wheat Clover and Veatch to feed in winter
excellent video for new ideas, but I wish it was a better quality, it is hard to tell some greens apart, they all look the same. Try HD setting next time?
Great video. Lots of information for people to save a lot of money in feeding their rabbits.
Hey thanks :) Appreciate you stopping by

This is true! I've recently started doing this very thing
Oh and you can feed peach, pear, cherry, apple, plum tree clippings to rabbits. I feed based on what the wild rabbits are eating in my yard.
Jennifer's Miniatures Thanks for the info! I wasn't sure about those. I learn by observing too. Thanks for watching and the tip :)
I have always heard and read that stone fruit is a no-no.
Mikkel Jylland it is unless you remove the stone
Demeter radish leaves, Lucerne, dandelions and their leaves.
Great video. My rabbits eat much of the same weeds, too.

Jennifer's Miniatures Hi Jennifer, thank you for watching and sharing! It's always great to learn about new things we can feed the "buns"
I wish I had your yard. That's bunny heaven
Thank you
This was a nice video :) So do you also still feed your rabbits hay and pellets as well?
KateInTheCity Thank You 😊Yes, we do supplement their feed with pellets (no hay), unless they’re in a rabbit tractor, then they just eat natural feed and we move them around. Thanks for stopping by.
From my knowledge hay should be 90% of their diet and pellets only to be given in small amounts. I'm surprised you don't feed them hay?
@@msdiinsche grass and weeds is just as good as hay. Grass IS Hay lol..
A lot of the plants are edible for humans. Great yard/garden. Have you thought about Moringa trees? Zone 8,9,10.
Rose Jafari thanks for stopping by. I would love to grow Moringa, unfortunately we’re zone 5, so no Moringa for me. Have a lovely day
I have morringa can i give to the rabbits?
Best Regards from Poland.
Thanks for stopping by :) We love Poland. Poland Strong!
