Mixing Rabbit Feed

[tortoise]

I will free feed grass hay, alfalfa hay, grass, veggie scraps, garden scraps. I want to make a mix.

Calf Manna
Rabbit Pellets (80# to change feed over gradually)
Whole corn
Whole oat
Mineral licks

Can anyone suggest a ratio?

First off , remove the corn. And salt is not necessary with a good quality pellet. What is the % of rabbit pellets?

I would w/16% feed pellet:
9:1 ratio ... for every 9 scoops of pellets, 1 scoop of CM & Oats.

For 18% feed pellet:
11:1 ratio.

You might consider adding Sunflower (black) or Cardinal bird seed mix. Also ... just experience talking there...

Yes, do not give them corn.
It is hard to digest, and I think if they get to much of it, it might ferment in them, not 100% sure on that, but I've heard something like that.
