Care of Rabbits. 
What is the best and most natural feed 
for rabbits aged six weeks, and when can 
they be removed from the mother? Any 
suggestion you can give me concerning 
the raising of rabbits will be appreciated. 
Pennsylvania. h. a. d. 
Young rabbits six or seven weeks old 
ought to get a good part of their nourish¬ 
ment from their mother, as in my opinion 
it is not good policy to wean them until 
they are at least two months old. Of 
course, it can be done at an earlier age, 
but I don’t think the results in that case 
are as satisfactory as when they are left 
with their mother until at least two 
months old. The best feed for young 
rabbits as well as old ones is well cured 
clover or Alfalfa hay cut when not too 
old. The third cutting of Alfalfa hay is, 
of course, preferable, and the second cut¬ 
ting of clover would be better than the 
first cutting. Timothy hay is almost 
worthless, and should never be fed. Oats 
are also a staple diet, and some breeders 
advise keeping oats before young rabbits 
all of the time, but personally I don’t rec¬ 
ommend this. I have always fed a lim¬ 
ited amount of green stuff to young rab¬ 
bits when it is to be had, although in this 
respect also I disagree with some breed¬ 
ers. While too much green stuff is prob¬ 
ably detrimental to young rabbits my ex¬ 
perience is that it can be fed four or five 
times a week with good results. Carrots 
are the best vegetable to feed, but turnips, 
apples and cabbage as well as green 
clover, grass and vegetable tops, etc., can 
be fed with good results. I have fed with 
very satisfactory results three or four 
times a week a mash consisting of about 
25 per cent, each of wheat bran, wheat 
middlings and ground oats, about 15 per 
cent, cornmeal, 8 per cent, oil meal and 
2 per cent, salt mixed with water or pre¬ 
ferably sweet milk so as to form a crum¬ 
bly mash. For a breeding doe and her 
young nothing is better than bread and 
milk. They will also drink and relish 
sweet milk and eat dry bread readily. 
They should be provided with water at 
least once a day. I would recommend one 
feed of hay per day and alternating oats, 
mash and green stuff for the other feed.
