IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS 103 
the lawn. This is the proper solution of the 
problem in the winter. Rabbit droppings are 
even better than sheep manure for lawns. 
Hay Racks. Hay racks can be built out of 
wire and placed in each hutch. They will save 
feed and prevent the rabbits soiling it as they 
will do if it is placed in the floor of the hutch. 
In the use of hay racks—they eat it only as 
wanted and you will soon find that the use of 
racks will cut your hay bills down one-third 
at least. There are several good racks on the 
market for about fifty cents each and if you do 
not care to make your own you will find that it 
is money well spent to buy them. 
Freep Crocks. The best feed dish to use is 
the regular rabbit crock which can be pro- 
cured at any seed house or supply dealer. 
These are glazed to make cleaning easy and 
they are flat enough to prevent tipping and the 
consequent loss of the mash or grain. 
Do not use galvanized or tin dishes, as they 
are unsatisfactory for rabbits. They are too 
hard to keep clean and that is a prime neces- 
sity with rabbits.
