Bunny Boiler 177 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Protein rich diet bud. Plenty of rabbit or raw meat. Try and avoid dog food as they wont absorb many nutrients from it (short digestive track). No milk either. They are lactose intolerant. Quote Link to post
Polkey 70 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Feed mine fresh meat, rabbit, chicken wings, mince and always have a bit of dry food in there and plenty of fresh water to. Quote Link to post
cubby 3 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Fresh meat is best but I also feed dried ferret food Quote Link to post

Papa g 14 Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I always feed mine fresh meat in winter (rabbit, pigeon & whatever other vermin falls pray to the airgun) I alway feed with the fur or feather on the carcass, in the summer I feed a good dry food as fresh meat soon gets fly ridden & tainted.

joe14 98 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Meat is best diet, i feed rabbit, pheasant, chicken wings, mince, fish and a mix of dry food with raw eggs as a treat and lactose free milk every now and then. Quote Link to post
