Pregnant Jill - Diet

[Lamper121 239]

Hi All,

 

I have done a fair bit of reading on the subject but I'm curious as to what people feel is the best diet for a pregnant Jill?

 

I see a lot of references suggesting liver as well as bonemeal being supplemented during the gestation period? Anyone else heard of this?

 

Cheers

I just give them a high protein diet, rabbit with bone, chicken carcasses, kitten food and egg yolks.

just feed her as normal,while pregnant,and give her a bit extra food when she has kits,she will be fine.

Fresh meat and plenty clean water

When youve got the kits theres a few folk looking for good homes for cockerels on gumtree mate handy if your short of meat

Can't beat whole carcass imo, especially once she's had the kits - they need access to bone, feather, intestine etc as well as flesh in order to develop properly. Really important not to overdo the liver once the kits are born as if they get too much they won't be able to walk properly. Happened with the first litter I ever bred back in the mists of time when I was too young and ignorant to know better - poor little buggers should have been racing round like banshees but could only shuffle along on their front legs like seals on the beach.

Aye i stopped breeding mine when i was putting in two full rabbits a day easier to pick up a couple of kits from somebody else
