In another topic stubby said to give the kits chicken thighs if you cant get rabbit and the kits love it.

but how often do i need to feed them it. i dont want to leave it in the cage otherwise they end up wth woodshavings in there mouth.

I give them chicken when i get in from work around 5pm.Just pick the bones out in the morning.I tend not to leave fresh meat in the hutch during the day in summer.I say that i gave them 4 thighs about an hour ago its all gone lol mind you there are 14 kits lol

hungry kits are nippy kits, i always fed raw meat 3 times a day when i had kits and left dry down 24/7

i always have dry food down for them ,but i feed my kits fresh meat ( say 7 kits on average ) 1 average rabbit roughly chopped up so they all get the chance of a piece ,and i usually feed them about 6 to 7 oclock when the flies have died down and any left over in the morning is taken out

ive fed them twice today i usualy watch them as they eat. when they have finsihed eating then i put them back.

ive feed them chicken thighs but i minced it first so they find it easier to eat theres 8 of them.

is it possible to over feed them?

Its best to put to much food in, if theres food left after each sitting then there getting enough

[sue 1]

why do you find the need to take them out to eat ?,and why mince it ?,all you need to do is chuck their meat in tonight and remove any left overs in the morning

well said sue, just chuck a rabbit , hare, pigion whatever and take out the next day. no need to mess around choping bits up , how do you think they manage in the wild.

Pop a rabbit in each hutch about 9pm and take whats left out in the morning

well said i give them 4 or 5 day old chicks in the morning then around 9 pm they get a pigeon or half a rabbit but squeeze the egg out of the chicks beforefeeding the ferrets yhanks

[The one 8,481]

Its the same with the dogs i like feeding in the evening then i think they settle down for the night with full bellies

Woodshavings in their mouth? hmm... Why not get some string or something and suspend it from above, so they can still eat it, but it doesn't get covered in shavings. They will probably find it really fun aswell and end up playing with it.
