Ive had a lot better luck at getting healthy kits and moms by giving my pregnant does 1/4 cup of calf manna each day after they are bred. I continue this until kits are weaned.

Do you give that 1/4 cup calf manna in place of or in addition to what you usually feed? Not trying to sound critical, but 1/4 cup of calf manna is a lot to give a rabbit on a daily basis IF that is in addition to regular feed. It is a much richer feed than regular rabbit pellets. But if it works for you...every owner knows their rabbits best!nawma said:
I supplement my does with 1 tablespoon calf manna daily starting the day they kindle. That is in addition to free feeding 15% protein rabbit pellets. I up my doe's feed to about 1.5X what I usually feed starting about day 17 of gestation. Upon kindling, they get free fed plus the supplement. Free feeding continues until weaning.

Calf manna is a pellet that is available at all feed stores. I get mine at Tractor Supply. I do give 1/4 cup in addition to regular feed. All my pregnant does have done great on it. I continue it till I begin to wean.
