How much do you......

Spend weekly on your rabbits veg :wave:

Sorry I know this is nosey but.......having 3 bunnies :love: I seem to be spending quite a bit on veggies :shock: and I was wondering if it's just me :lol: how much do you spend??
 
Hardly anything now, as one of my bunnies can't currently have any fresh veg as it's giving her a messy bottom. I slip Benni the occasional bit of veg when she isn't looking, but don't want her getting jealous!
 
Packet of spring greens, a savoy cabbage, green pepper, celery, basil, occasional spinach/parsley - so I guess that would about £6-£7 for two rabbits. I grow the rest of the herbs myself. How much do you spend?
 
I have 4 buns and I think I spend about 5 pounds a week on veg for them - having seen the other replies I'm feeling a bit stingy now!

At the moment (but will be less in summer because I'll grow lots :thumb:) for 3 buns

2 bags cavlo nero £2.00
2 broccoli £1.20
2 packs baby sweet corn £2
1 pack green beans £1
1 spring greens or cabbage £1
1 bag rocket £1
Herbs, depends but about £2 ish?

Total £ 10.50 :shock: that quite a lot isn't it.....for 3 rabbits!

See I don't know that you are! I think I'm maybe feeding too much :shock:
 
That's for 30 so compared to the rest of you I am the tight one! But they all get around 4-5 different veg a day

Nah, I'm a tight one.... I spend £0 on them! :lol:

I don't feed veg, sometimes they get a bit of ours, broccoli stalk or a slice of carrot or parsnip but I feed it in tiny amounts. I don't really feed much other than pellets (small amount) and hay, I try to get a variety of nice hays for them and feed forage as treats with the odd fenugreek crunchie added in.

I live near some woodland now which seems to be mostly hawthorn and brambles so will get foraging as soon as the hawthorn is fully out :p I found an apple tree to, I won't really be able to get sticks since it's not mine but lots of leaves once it is actually in leaf!
 
about £10 ish. that's for bisc and two piggies maisie and eddie. it would be less for bisc because he only has thyme and coriander because he can't tolerate anything else. :wave:
 
About £5 a week for 14 Rabbits

I will soon be spending less as they are all now being re-introduced to grass after the winter break. Once they are on loads of grass/weeds they wont get much Veg at all.

I am very mean !! I just dont believe they need huge amounts of Veg if they have 'wild' food :)

This for me too :thumb: my lawn is mainly dandelions :oops: ive got sticky weed all over and we've got woodland behind too, but the goats are eating everything in there, but there's hawthorn and brambles in the wood opposite too :thumb:
 
Wow, I feel like Lola is really spoiled now :oops: I spend somewhere between £7 - £10 every 10 days on 1 rabbit :oops:

*hides*

Just to add that they also get at least three different hays every day and a lot of them get dried herbs daily too :D
 
I think I probably spend a few quid a week on things just for them - some herbs, a bag of rocket or watercress usually and some celery I might have one stick of. Then the rest of the stuff they have is bits from veggies I've bought for myself - cauliflower leaves, bit of broccoli stalk, occasionally some spinach and carrot peelings. I bought some pak choi yesterday which I've not had before so we are all going to try it this week :)
