I Need Help On Feed.

Question
What happens when you give a resting doe to much protein or not enough? What is a good percent of protein to have in the feed for show rabbits?

Answer
Dear Zach,

I don't show rabbits, nor do I approve of showing because it's so stressful for the rabbits.  So I'm not the right person to ask about showing rabbits.

I can tell you, though, that any food that's more than about 12% protein is going to be a bit rough on the kidneys long term.  You can get guidelines for healthy diet here:

Hope that helps.
