A good quality feed pellet, hay, and water is a must. I use 18% rabbit feed pellets as it works well for me. Water is VERY important. Without water, they will not eat. If they do not eat, they will not grow, breed, or raise quality litters. Try to feed and water at the same time every day. (Hay is important because rabbits need long-fiber in their diet to keep their intestinal tract healthy and working properly. Do not give rabbits younger than five months any greens; carrots, apples, bananas, etc. because it can cause diarrhea which is usually fatal in baby rabbits. Satins will do well on 3/4 cup of feed per day. In the winter I feed about a cup for bucks. Does with litters should have food in front of them at all times. (full feed) because they are making heat to keep warm and making milk to feed their babies. Young bucks and does are fed 1 to 1&1/2 cups to afford proper growth and warmth. All of your rabbits should be treated as individuals. Some will require a little more food and some a little less. Only you as the manager of your rabbitry can know who should get more and who should get less food. In winter I feed my rabbits 18% pellets and black oil sunflower seeds, not the ones with stripes. The black oils will help the satin sheen of the coat and also help to make heat. Be careful not to give too many sunflower seeds in the summer. That is one time you don't want your Rabbits to hold too much heat. Another good thing to feed your rabbits is rolled oats, uncooked! That will give them flesh, but not fat. They can also be used to get any rabbit that's gone off feed to start eating again. Another thing to try is racehorse oats with molasses, [Sweet-Feed] Use them sparingly. They will also help with the sheen. When adding things to your feed watch your rabbits carefully. You don't want them to get too fat and you don't want them to go into molt. (shedding their coat) Remember to keep everything in moderation. When used properly, these additives can help. Remember to pay close attention to your rabbits.
