Question 1

What do you feed your rabbits?

Accepted Answer

We feed our rabbits grain and hay. They are given grain once a day, and we restock their hay feeder when needed. Our rabbits are given timothy hay. While some rabbit farmers choose to feed their rabbits only grain, hay is strongly recommended since it will help aid digestion. We also make sure they have a full water bottle each morning. You can feed rabbits treats in moderation. Our favorites are apple tree branches, thornless blackberry vines, and carrots. Make sure whatever you feed them is fresh as rabbits cannot spit up food they do not like, so you want them to only eat foods that are safe.

Question 2

What do your horses eat?

Accepted Answer

Our horses eat both grain and hay. We feed them in the morning and at night, waiting about an hour before riding if they've recently eaten to allow them time to digest their food. The grain is topped off with water as we find this is an additional way to increase their water intake and it helps reduce the risk of colic. We feed our horses supplements daily, and make sure they have a full and clean water trough. We recommend peanut hay, and purchase our square bales locally from a farm in Greenville, FL or the feed store in Tallahassee, FL. A good alternative hay option would be coastal hay, but be mindful of this kind having less nutrients and proteins.

Question 3

What do your chickens eat?

Accepted Answer

Our chickens, ducks, and guinea fowl all share the same grain and corn based diet. We feed them an "all flock raiser" crumble blend that you can purchase from your local feed store such as Tractor Supply. We mix in cracked corn to supplement the crumble. Make sure your birds have fresh water daily! I suggest giving them ground egg shells or oyster shells monthly for a calcium boost.
 
You can give chickens your kitchen food-trash to pick though too. I make sure to avoid giving them anything harmful, such as candy, chocolate, green tomato stems, raw potato peels, etc. They love popcorn, peas, pumpkin, and watermelon!
