    Homemade feed issue

    Hello! So for the past years i've been making my own feed. I did these proportions, 36% wheat, 32% barley, 22% field peas, 7% sunflower seeds, then added calcium carbonate and meat-meal with a protein content of 60% to adjust. Issue is, this year, field peas have failed, so there aren't any...

    change diet for recently aquired rabbits

    there is no evidence my hay is "toxic". sheep graze on lands surrounding mine and seems to not die. the only evidence i have now, is that those rabbits wait all day for me to feed grains I don't have. when i don't look, they eat their hay.

    change diet for recently aquired rabbits

    well, thanks for the advice, but my idea of rabbits is indeed a failure. the hay I have is OK for maybe keeping them, but they will never breed, or thrive. the only hope would've been the greens that grow in spring, but, then what? even if they managed to successfully breed, the heat of summer...

    No well i meant to give the straw to them for one day and see. I am really glad you can help. I guess for now i will feed the hay i got, throw away what they don't eat, and supplement with a cup of mix barley/oats (thats the only grains i got that are good quality and that mice didn't get into...

    marek infection?

    thanks for your advice, i will try. I hope it's just a nutritional deficiency, even though that would mean that the grain nutrition from my area have been severely damaged by drought. if it's disease, and it's that infection, i can kiss goodbye my idea of "not depending on stores" as the only...

    change diet for recently aquired rabbits

    99% of what they "waste" is fescue. now I cannot say if it's because they dont like it, or because it's bad. all i know it costed me a lot of work to cut it, properly dry and stack it. and also that there isn't anything any better available, and i don't have a car so it's not like i can go and...

    marek infection?

    the same base that the hens eat, 32% barley, 36% weat, 23% peas. 7% sunflower, difference is 1% calcium instead of 9% and 20% protein instead of 16% . Protein difference is added in the form of 7% meat flour. none of my hens or chickens got ill that way

    change diet for recently aquired rabbits

    thanks for your kind responses. the hay is what i cut by hand on my land, it's a mix of various grasses, mostly fescue and rye. it is not mouldy or smelly or anything. here it is normal to just feed rabbits 100% mixes of grains, but that's not what i wanted the rabbits for. unfortunately if they...

    change diet for recently aquired rabbits

    I dont understand. they seem to be preferring to starve than to eat their hay. they eat some, but discard 2/3rds of it. I dont have anything else to feed them. I got them because i have hay to feed them. Is it because they were fed only grains since birth and now they don't get used to their...
