252 CARE AND MANAGEMENT OF RABBITS 
regular rabbit salt in spool form, which can be 
placed on a nail about the height of the rabbit’s 
head on the hutch wall. 
Nursing Does.—Feed as for adult stock during 
pregnancy, but let the doe have all she will eat. 
Some green food should be given each day. 
A large carrot each morning is a good breakfast 
for a nursing doe. It can be alternated with oats 
and mash on different mornings. 
Hay should be before the doe at all times. 
At noon feed her bread and milk. Stale or hard 
bread is best. Do not feed mouldy bread. Just 
enough milk to soak up the bread is all that is 
required. 
Doe should have this every noon during the 
nursing period, and when youngsters commence to 
run around quantity must be increased. 
Mash: Feed all doe will eat before kindling. 
Fourteen ounces a day after young are two weeks 
old and by time they are two months old the 
quantity should have been increased to twenty- 
eight ounces every morning. 
Doe must have green focd, a small handful daily. 
Remove her to a separate hutch while feeding this, 
if young are running around in hutch. 
Be sure to have plenty of fresh water on hand 
at all times. 
Salt, also.
