Mixed fodder for rabbits and other food for them.

Often, grain feed for rabbits are called concentrates. The fact is that even in a small mass of such food there are many useful and necessary substances for the animal. However, it is worth noting that before you give such food to rabbits, you must first prepare it. This is necessary in order not to lose most of the product. And even in ready-made form, mixed fodder is much better absorbed in the body.

So, feed for rabbits is a crushed food. It can be added to:

Oats are considered to be the best food for rabbits and adults. You can give it in a dry, moistened or even roasted form. Long-eared pets also like barley. Lentils, peas and corn, as well as other hard varieties of grains, are best soaked before feeding for a couple of hours. It should be noted that corn is generally better as an independent food not to give, but mixed with other crops.

Before buying a ready-made mixture, it is necessary to specify for which animals it is intended. Rabbits can not eat mixed fodders for birds. It is better to purchase an option for pigs or cows.

In the mixed feed for rabbits sometimes add chestnuts and acorns. They effectively cope with the problem of indigestion. Dry acorns are cleaned, ground and added to a mixture of nutrients.

The daily ration of all rabbits must contain domestic food waste. This can be porridge, pasta, potatoes and even soup. It is very important that this food is lean. On their basis, special wet mashrooms are prepared, adding fodder for rabbits. Clearing of vegetables is better to give to animals in a fresh kind. True, with pleasure they eat and boiled options.

Therefore, it is necessary not to regret the germinated grain, fresh carrots and necessarily add yeast to the mixed fodder. It is an excellent source of valuable vitamin E. It is necessary to add vitamin concentrates (vitamin D, A and others) to rabbit food.

As soon as spring comes, the grass is introduced into the menu of rabbits gradually. In no case should not give pets wet grass. It is better to pre-dry it. Young animals a day should receive half a kilogram of fresh greens. But adult individuals weave and 1.5 kg.

If fed wild grass rabbits, then you need to check that there were no poisonous plants:
