I like those little food cups that attach.. they are also good for water..

[@MeatRabbitsOrg]

They are. They are also more expensive, though, but they last well because they are harder and get chewed less.

Where do you get those little feathers? Those little cups.

Does she ever answer questions?

[@MeatRabbitsOrg]

@@nitsudocsicnarf347 yes, but not usually over Christmas holiday. Happy New Year!

I think you mean feeders? The gray feed cups that twist in and out of the base I got from Tractor Supply Company but you can get them from other suppliers, too. Look up Lixit Feed cups. Here's an Amazon link: amzn.to/47fpU8r The other style I buy at my local Farmer's co-op but All Things Rabbit has something similar here: amzn.to/47gaH72

What pellets are you using?

[@MeatRabbitsOrg]

18% rabbit pellets from a regional grain company called Poulin.

Please dont let ur rabbits walk on wire surfaces it can cause sore feet and that would be very painfull to them

[@MeatRabbitsOrg]

They have rest mats and we take great pains to avoid this. There are many reasons why this is more hygienic. Please refer to the video on why we choose cages for raising meat rabbits.

And you don't have to do all that

[@billierichter1379]

All what?

[@MeatRabbitsOrg]

I'm going to guess he means that you don't have to move them in stages like this, which I believe I said in the video and definitely covered in the accompanying article. I'm simply showing my way so people have information and options. I always think it's good to collect information from several sources and find what works for you and your space by trial.@@billierichter1379

[@MeatRabbitsOrg]

No, which I believe was also mentioned. A lot of the reason I do it this way is that when I am at full capacity this helps me rotate cage space and keep a steady stream of production. Reduces cleaning and supplies for an extra couple of weeks, too, and every little bit of savings helps.
