woops that was a bit of a typo, i meant 400g.
ill give them food, but they never go through the full amount. they probably only eat about 80g a day actually.
is it ok to leave the uneaten food in their bowl for the next day? cuase right now im just chucking it away.
the breeder told me i should be feeding one half a kilo a day :shock: which i think is ludacrus.
WHAT?! That's ridiculous, even for a giant! :shock: :lol:
Are you sure you mean 400g, not 40g? You shouldn't be throwing food away :?
This is the daily feeding guide for Pets at Home rabbit pellets (which is made by Burgess and is basically the exact same as regular Excel):
Netherland Dwarf (Approx. 0.9-1.1kg): 25-30gm, Dutch (Approx. 2-2.3kg): 50-60gm, English (Approx. 2.7-3.6kg): 70-90gm
Basically according to this, a rabbit should get approx 2-3% of it's body weight in food, if your rabbit weighs 2kg (for example) and it's getting 400g, this is the equivalent of 20% of it's body weight - Ten times the correct amount! :shock:
Either you have your numbers wrong, or you are feeing way too much, I suspect the later as you say you have to throw it away which is a real shame :? just put out the amount they will eat for now, then try to decrease it to the amount stated above
ETA: Do they eat much hay? If they don't it's probably because they are full on pellets, sometimes it seems mean to decrease the pellets but it's better for their teeth in the long run
ETA (Again!) - How much do they actually weight out of interest? We can try and work out by the above method the approx amount they should be getting
