Hello everyone...it has been a while getting back to this post. I have been struggling to get my NZW fryers to the 5-5.5 lbs weight by 10 weeks. The processor called me and asked me why the rabbits seem lean rather than solid as they like it. I feed the fryers and the mothers 17% bunny feed, alfalfa hay and once in a while, molasses rolled oats (12%)as a treat. The bunnies are house in a large pen with straw on the floor....maybe the pen is too big and they are burning off their weight?! Should I confine the fryers to a smaller pen so they don't run too much? Any advice on the feed?
Thanks
