Adding Greens to supplement pellets

[lovinglife]

I have a litter a little over three weeks old at the moment. I have been giving them small amounts of greens, such as grass and dandelions every day for almost a week. I plan on giving them more greens everyday until I have them up to eating a good amount of grass etc along with the pellets and free choice hay. These are pretty much just for meat, however they are pure Silver Fox so I could place some as possible 4-h projects. These rabbits do not have to hit a butcher weight at a certain time, do you think I will save any money at all by offering other forages? I know a litter can go through a TON of pellets if that is all they get...Money is super tight right now as my husband lost his job, so saving money is primary concern..

You don't happen to live in Virginia, with your silver Foxes? I have been looking to buy one for a 4H project.

Sorry! Idaho, pretty good drive. I bet you can find some there, I will let you know if I hear of any.
