Is there such a thing as too much readigrass?
My guys are treating feeding time like a 2 course meal now that I've bought readigrass for them. Ok this is how feeding time at the 'Aberdeen Zoo' goes, they bounce up and down until I go into the cupboard, then they go round in circles while i measure out the food, then as I move from cupboard to bed they dash back and forth until I get to the dish, then they become blind and can't find the dish! How a bunny hasn't been squished and a hoomin hasn't broken anything I don't know :lol:
Anyhoo after munching all the pellets, we move onto pudding (being Aberdonian we are not posh enough to do a starter) pudding is a bowl of readigrass. The 2 smaller pairs have a gravity bin full of readigrass but I refill it morning and night and then Coco and Jasper, the bigger bunnies, have a huge plastic bowl which is again filled morning and night, the smaller-single bunnies have a bunny sized dish filled twice a day. On top of this they have a communal dish which is filled twice a day but it depends who is out as to who eats it but they will sometimes finish that and then eat from the dish in their beds. Further to this they also have West Wales hay in racks which are filled every 2nd day (large hay racks). They have eaten 3/4 of a 18 kg boxof West Wales hay in um, oh my god, just worked it out, just over 2 weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!! All of them are healthy and pooping surprisingly well :lol: (hmmm will have to rethink the WWW hay idea)
The other question is, if they are eating this much hay/grass does the fibre count in pellets which make up a very small amount of the diet matter??? Im looking at Dodson & Horrell pellets which are 13% fibre.
