Quick Q regarding rabbits
"Ignoramus3274" wrote in message ... I asked this question in misc.rural already, but want to run it by a few more people. Can meat/fur rabbits survive if they are being fed a diet that is mostly lawn clippings? I am upset that I waste so much time and lawn grass due to all this mandatory lawn trimming, and am thinking about having rabbits between months of May/October, or some such, and feed them lawn trimmings. will it work? I already own two chickens and they are doing great, even in -5F weather, in an unheated shed. Rabbits can't live on grass clippings alone and should not be fed any that have been chemically treated with pesticides or fertilizers. Get a mulching lawn mower - you have to mow the lawn anyway and at least with a mulching mower you are returnig the clippings back to the lawn where they act as a natural fertilizer. Less waste, better for your lawn and no nutritionaly deprived bunnies to worry about. Or you could get a goat. pam - gardengal |
