Should I feed my baby rabbit once or twice a day

Should I feed my baby rabbit once or twice a day2007-11-24 22:15:22

She is 7 weeks old, a Mini Rex, and I am going to show her at rabbit shows. I do not want her to get over weight. I normally feed her about a half a cup in the morning and at night. I feed her a mix of hay, with oats and rabbit food pellets. Should I feed her at night or in the morning, or both? and also some care tips would be appreciated too.

Answers:

For a Mini Rex, I would:

Keep fresh water available at all times.

Offer grass hay (timothy, bermuda, sudan, etc) daily-no alfalfa!

Feed twice a day, about 1/4th of a cup each time. If you can only feed once a day that's fine, but it should be just under a half a cup (4 ounces) total. Much more than that will make her fat.

This diet is similar to what I feed my winning Tans.

Rabbits do not have to have fruits or veggies, and especially for a show rabbit that needs to be in the best health and condition, they shouldn't be a regular part of the diet. They are fine in little bites as an occasional treat, though. Mine love bananas, apples, and raisins.

Rabbits in the US also do not require vaccinations.

Handle her daily. Now is a great time to get her used to being carried, posed, and looked over. Turn her over onto her back, examine her teeth, toenails, private area and tail as the judge will look at all of these.

Groom her often-with my rabbits I spritz a little water on my hand and I rub the fur back and forth until it's dry, and that's it.
