Rabbits' Autumn Feed Calendar

Throughout the summer, our rabbits have enjoyed fresh foliage, vegetable scraps, and other treats from the farm. But when September arrives, we begin the gradual transition to more stable, hay-based feeding. This is important both for their digestion and for our storage through autumn and winter.

The process must be slow – too rapid a change can disturb their sensitive digestive system.

How We Make the Transition

• Introduce hay gradually over 2-3 weeks
• Maintain some fresh greens as long as they're available
• Increase pellet amounts carefully
• Ensure the rabbits get enough fiber
• Observe their wellbeing and droppings
