regular rabbit salt in spool form, which can be placed on a nail about the height of the rabbit's head on the hutch wall.
Nursing Does.—Feed as for adult stock during pregnancy, but let the doe have all she will eat.
Some green food should be given each day.
A large carrot each morning is a good breakfast for a nursing doe. It can be alternated with oats and mash on different mornings.
Hay should be before the doe at all times.
At noon feed her bread and milk. Stale or hard bread is best. Do not feed mouldy bread. Just enough milk to soak up the bread is all that is required.
Doe should have this every noon during the nursing period, and when youngsters commence to run around quantity must be increased.
Mash: Feed all doe will eat before kindling. Fourteen ounces a day after young are two weeks old and by time they are two months old the quantity should have been increased to twenty-eight ounces every morning.
Doe must have green food, a small handful daily. Remove her to a separate hutch while feeding this, if young are running around in hutch.
Be sure to have plenty of fresh water on hand at all times.
Salt, also.
