Just heard a great news from a fellow rabbit breeder. He is bringing in Oxbow and will be the distributor in Malaysia. That is great news indeed for Malaysia rabbit community. So excited. If all goes well, we shall have Oxbow in May 2008!!!

How much to feed?
I just read on another HL breeder’s blog that she feed 3 to 4 ounces of feed a day. That is equivalent to 85 to 113 grams per day. I really need to bring out the weighing scale to see how much I am feeling my rabbits per day…
Just need to add on more. A dear friend also mentioned that the recommended amount to feed is 1/8 to 1/4 (of 250ml cup) per 5 lbs (2268 grams or 2.268) body weight.
Let’s do some calculations here:
Skor is 1.6kg
(1600 g / 2268) * 100 = 70% of 1/4 cup?
That’s less than 5lbs so I can just give 1/4 cup I believe as 70% would be too little in my eyes. Wonder how much is 1/4 cup in grams….
This means that I have to start weighing my rabbits to ascertain how much to feed each individual.
