    Watering with nipples

    Chicken waterers have more plastic, and typically have a larger.. lever-thingy. According to a couple of youtuber's who've tried it, rabbits will chew, and eventually destroy the plastic, causing them to leak. Both chicken and rabbit/small animal waterers cost about the same on ebay (and are...

    Hydroponic fodder

    From the results other people have posted, it's completely possible as long as you remember the caveat. While you save money on food, you do "lose" some money on slower growth. I've not read of any instances of 5lb's in 8 weeks, as is the target for good stock on pellets. As long as you're ok...

    My First Set of Rabbits!!!

    Most people in your situation just remove a divider between holes to get larger pens. If you can, keep the removal clean so you have the option to reinstall something there if you need to reclaim the hole.

    Real food for breeder rabbits

    It sounds like you have plenty already, but you may also want to look into sweet potato leaves and vines. Texas A&M and several others have done studies on it for potentially producing quality rabbit food in tropical and 3rd world nations. Considering the foliage is "waste" from a human...
