COMPLETE FOOD FOR THE RABBITS
Why sprouted?
Double the value, lower the cost of feeding.
Give your bunnies the best!
To sprout is quite simple. You will need the following: bleach, perforated container, water, wheat or barley - barley is best.
The steps:
Depending
on the number of rabbits you intend to feed, the size or number of perforated
containers you have, measure out some wheat or barley and soak in bleach for 12hrs.
Pour the
soaked wheat into the perforated container and place under shade - where rats,
birds or too much sunlight cannot reach.
Pour some
water in a large basin or bucket - large enough for the perforated container to
go in. Gently drop the perforated container into the water until the wheat is
completely immersed. Wait a few seconds then remove and place back in the
shade.
Repeat step
3 for 8 more days. On the 9th day you should have them all beautifully grown ready for consumption. Remove and feed to your rabbits.
Sometimes,
if the steps above are not carried out properly, the resulting sprout will be moldy.
This can be harmful the rabbit's health.
To prevent
moldiness, some breeders will add two or three caps of bleach into the water
that will be used to immerse the sprouting wheat. The water in this case should
not be too much as to render the effect of the bleach useless.
The above
processes will double the nutritional value of either wheat, barley or any
grain - thus giving your rabbits better nutrition at a low cost. It's going to
be fun - watching the sprouts grow very fast and watching your bunnies enjoy
both the green-lush, grass like leaves and nutritious seeds in the sprout.
Good
luck!
