· The pellets may be self-fed that is, kept before the animals at all times or hand fed. Self-feeding is also recommended for does with litters to help reduce labor and achieve rapid growth. Self-feeding is also recommended for weaned bunnies.
· If hand feeding, the number of feedings per day is a matter of preference. It is important, though, to feed the animals the same number of times each day at approximately the same time.
· Monitor body condition and adjust feeding levels to maintain desired body condition.
· It is not necessary to feed hay with NatureWiseTM Rabbit Pellets. High quality hay may be fed, if desired. Hay must be fine-stemmed, leafy, green in color, well cured and free from mildew or mold. Alfalfa, clover, sweet clover, lespedeza, soybean and peanut hay are suitable. Cutting the hay into 3- to 4-inch lengths will help avoid waste.
· Provide clean, fresh water at all times.
· Provide salt blocks or salt spools at all times.
· Keep rabbit hutches, feeders and waterers clean.
