Sorry to take so long getting back to this, but thank you for the info. We aren't fermenting right now (to cold for it to do well) but will start up again in the spring and will definitely be trying some with the rabbits! Cool stuff!

I am sorry to hear it.:( How are your other animals doing? Do you have issues with their feed as well? This must all be getting kind of scary.

Thanks, Kassaundra! I think we'll be trying this, too. Kind of excited about it.... About how much do you feed of the fermented and sprouted grains per rabbit? What else do you feed your rabbits? Do you do any pellets at all? Hay?

Sweetened, can you give us an update on what you are feeding and how it is working out? What did you find worked the best for faster growth and better health? Did you try the lentils, and if so, how did they work? Just curious and wanting to learn....

Kasssaundra, how about an update? Are you still feeding the fermented grain? And, if so, how are they doing? I, too, have fermented my feed for the chickens but never thought of feeding it to the rabbits. Curious as to the results. What kind of grains are you fermenting? Have you noticed a...

I think you will see a difference. We did. Feeding fodder cut our hay usage in half! It would have been more, but the size of our system wouldn't allow us to feed more fodder. The biggest advantage, at least for me, was that their milk production went up! I got 1 - 1 1/2 cups more per...

This is excellent! I just got a case of papaya from our local food pantry and was thinking of giving the seeds to the goats. Now I definitely will!

How interesting!! Could you post pictures of your "fogs?" I have no idea what one looks like! :lol: (Sorry! I couldn't resist!)

To help my family get over the "but they're so cute" factor, we ground the meat from the first several rabbits we butchered (that way you can't tell what it is :lol:). Use like you would ground turkey or chicken. Makes great burgers! After you get to like the taste, it doesn't matter what...

X2! Your whole house will smell. There is a big difference between 4 bunnies and 1.

Thank you both so much! You have saved me a trip to the vet and many $$! I am so relieved and grateful. Thanks again.

That is a relief to know. Thank you!!

I have two 4-year-old nubian does. Both are in their third lactation. One recently had mites. As we were shampooing her the other day we noticed lumps/bumps under her belly. They feel very soft, as if they are filled with fluid. They run in fairly straight lines to her udder. At first I...

:pop I'd like to know, too.
