I would go for the local feed store since I really don't trust Amazon or ebay for feed also the best in show feed is for show rabbits if your planning on showing them.

Yeah the nutrition still looks really good!

I'm not planning on showing them, but I would still consider it as a feed if it would work for what I want them for.

Perfect! I'll look locally first of course, but will still consider it. Thank you!

As for during the winter I would put a heat lamp in there or alot of straw bedding so they can nest in it during the winter.

Heat lamps are a major fire hazard, especially around hay and where a rabbit might nibble the cord.

I have had rabbits through the winter, with no added heat, in temperatures about the same as OP is expecting. They were fine. Most of the rabbits were 8-10 pounds, but a few were smaller breeds (maybe 5-6 pounds, not the really tiny dwarfs.)

Rabbits grow a fur coat, and do well with cold weather, as long as they are dry and can get out of the wind, and have enough food & water.

Then ya go for it also I would recommend a rabbit book for beginners. Raising rabbits I think that's whats its called the authors name is Bob Bennett. Definitely get his book it has a lot of info in it. It tells you from feed and nutrition to building hutch to which breeds would suit your needs

I have to agree with you. I wouldn't expect them to need heat lamps, as they have thick coats like chickens.
