Are you looking for more ways to reduce the feed bill?
We have many more ways!
Yes
Oats? Wheat? Just curious if they will work also. Maybe just list what we should NOT feed them if the list is shorter. Thanks. I am a permaculture type and always looking to keep my animals as close to natural as possible, including a small 30gallon pond. Cheers.
Thank you for this wonderful video . From one bunny lover to another . Much love from Hawaii♥️
You are so welcome! Thank you for your positive words!
I never knew about sunflowers, we have tons of them! Gonna be trying that this year, thanks for the great video!
and to those interested in their own health, the red clover flower, when brewed into a tea can be very helpful to your health...
Thank you for that information. Do you have rabbits and have you read this book: www.amazon.com/Beyond-Pellet-Feeding-Rabbits-Naturally/dp/1493654055/ref=sr_1_1?camp=1789&creative=9325&keywords=Beyond+the+Pellet+Feeding+Rabbits+Naturally&linkCode=ur2&linkId=aa46b712897737c8e895ed119d584207&qid=1673537077&s=books&sr=1-1
Thank you for sharing. Very informative.
You are welcome. If this is something you are interested in, here is a book about feeding rabbits that I have found very valuable: www.amazon.com/s?k=Beyond+the+Pellet+Feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=57569a1f1990551ae1fc8acd9398c07d&tag=razzledazzl01-20
I'd like to share some more plants i feed my rabbits.
Fodder beet/mangelwurzel- Beta vulgaris- root like beet, traditionally used for cattle, yields 20-30 tonnes per acre!
Great nutticious value! I they weren't so labour intensive(to prep for cattle), all dairy farmers around the world would still feed them. Rabbits eat the whole beet without leaves, not so labour intensive. When harvesting, cut the leaves above the top the beet, undamaged beets last longer.
Harvested around first frost, when stored dry they'll be alrigth for up to 6 months!
Leaves are not great for rabbits, but if you have meat rabbits it's alrigth because they won't get old enough to have problems from the leaves.
My rabbits love them, i buy them for around €50 per metric tonne, homegrown last longer because they are cleaner and not harvested mechanically/damaged.
I dare to say they cut my feed bill in half in winter+winter kits grow like hell on it.
(Sweet) corn- i eat the cobs, my rabbits eat the plants and underdevelopted cobs.
I leave the stalks in the ground when i harvest the corn, i'll feed them before they'll dry.
You could also use regular feed corn, hang the cobs to dry and feed the plants. Downside is plants will dry out, rabbits won't bother but in some climates the stalks will turn moldy.
The kernels itself are not good for rabbits, but you can feed them to meat rabbits. Again, they won't get old enough to have problems with the corn.
Meat rabbits grow extremely fast when fed with corn buy they'll have some yellow fat. Around here people feed the corn on the cob, saves time shelling, easier to hang to dry and the rabbits can eat it easier.
Thank you for all the valuable information! There is a book I found that has some pretty cool stuff in it: www.amazon.com/s?k=beyond+the+pellet+feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=8ae3c66a7face8f091b63170fb5e50b9&tag=razzledazzl01-20
Salut ,domnul am o întrebare , totuși iepurii nu se balonează de la sfecla furajera , vă mulțumesc
With rabbits, it's more of a question of what green leaves can't they eat!
Love this video!! 💕💕 Thanks 🌻🌻 are 1 of my favorite plants too!
They produce so much from just one seed!
Razzle Dazzle Rabbitry & Yarns LLC that’s good to know 😉
Great info.They are ALL so adorable🐇 Whats the name of the tall grass u stood next to? I live in FL . ThanQ
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!! 😊
You are welcome. Here is a valuable resource that has helped me drop down the money spent on feed: www.amazon.com/s?k=Beyond+the+Pellet+Feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=57569a1f1990551ae1fc8acd9398c07d&tag=razzledazzl01-20
Wild rabbits are eating passion fruit leaves and peanut leaves on my homestead.. I will plant more for them
I have been feeding floribunda roses and raspberry vines although I only feed raspberry vines last week of pregnancy or dry does. Cut some locust limbs for high protein for my lactating does.
Mint will help with drying out milk. A tip for after weaning to make the doe more comfortable
Thank you for the comments!
Thanks for the video. Very inspiring. I'm wondering what you grow for protein? I've been reading that younger rabbits need lots of alfalfa for protein . I suspect that the sunflower plant and bean plants would constitute as a protein supplement? Thanks again.
There is a book called "Beyond the Pellet." I recommend reading this book because it addresses protein needs for rabbits in a cost effective way. Here is a link to it: www.amazon.com/s?k=Beyond+the+Pellet+Feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=57569a1f1990551ae1fc8acd9398c07d&tag=razzledazzl01-20
What about cochioditis ?
Hi, interesting video. I have pet rabbits rather than for meat, but like to give them lots of foraged plants. Do you feed them any pellets or avoid them altogether? Thanks.
Thank you for the video, it was helpful. Can you tell me about the collapsible exercise pen? Like where you bought it, what is the shape and size, or if it has another name it's known by?
Here is the link for the pen: www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Foldable-Metal-Exercise-Fence/dp/B0758FX7MT/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?camp=1789&creative=9325&keywords=puppy+exercise+pen&linkCode=ur2&linkId=55d066ac0e25f8663c6e49fd43084cc0&qid=1673549389&rdc=1&s=pet-supplies&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzSjAzM0tJQjk1STBJJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzY0NDE0MktBMkYwRENCVDZJJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAyNzk3NzMzMzI4WVpQUVEyV0szJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
How about flax grass? We are growing a lot to harvest the seeds. Thank you so much
I would recommend reading a book about feeding rabbits naturally: www.amazon.com/s?k=Beyond+the+Pellet+Feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=57569a1f1990551ae1fc8acd9398c07d&tag=razzledazzl01-20 It gives so much valuable information about what and how to feed a healthy meal.
I have green pole beans that have wonderful leaves but it’s not producing beans. Are those leaves I could harvest and feed or dry for winter? I was going to pull them out anyway to plant other stuff. Thanks!
Yes, you certainly can harvest them, dry them and feed them to your bunnies.
Salut, iată o informație de care nu eram sigur că e bună , mulțumesc
What type of pellet feeders are those? I have bowls right now but am looking at this type. Also did you have to cut the cage to install them?
They are called J feeders and you have to cut to put into cage. Can purchase at Tractor Supply or local feed store.
When you cut the cage, only cut out 3 side. Bottom, left, right.
Fold the cut out up and install j feeder.
The cutout allows you to take the feeder out and close the hole back up.
I did cut the wire to install. These are 2.5 pound feeders, but I no longer remember exactly where they came from!
Can guinea pigs eat sunflower plants as well?
I do not have an answer for you as I do not raise guinea pigs and have never lived with one. I have heard the seeds are not to be fed to them, however, my knowledge is limited to rabbits. Have you been able to find an answer?
Do you still need to supplement with pellets?
I do, but here is a great resource for feeding rabbits naturally: www.amazon.com/s?k=beyond+the+pellet+feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=23ccd8c5558247f5af315e7106bf37fd&tag=razzledazzl01-20
You didn’t say the name of the grass that you can dry out for hay
There are many different kinds. Depends on the area you are in.
How often should you feed the plants you listed to your rabbit?
Our rabbits eat daily
It depends on the available items. Here is a resource I found valuable about feeding rabbits naturally: www.amazon.com/s?k=beyond+the+pellet+feeding+rabbits+naturally&i=stripbooks&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&linkId=23ccd8c5558247f5af315e7106bf37fd&tag=razzledazzl01-20
