Feeding rabbits without unnecessary expenses

Farmers know this from experience: little things in the equipment quickly become key. How not to make a mistake with the choice? The online store “VADA” will help you with this - there are various models of rabbit feeders and any equipment for rabbit farming.

• Feed economy - animals do not scatter food.
• Comfortable feeding without competition for feed and stress.
• Portion control - you can easily track consumption.
• Simplification of daily animal care.

Types of rabbit feeders

Before buying “feeders” for rabbits, pay attention to their volume, material and fastening.

Bunker feeders have a vertical tank from which the feed is automatically fed into the tray below under the influence of gravity. This is quite convenient for large farms, since you do not need to add it often. Bunker “feeder” for rabbits is suitable for granulated and loose feed and is not at all suitable for fresh greens or vegetables. They have minimal losses, since the feed does not scatter.

Cup feeders are small open containers made of ceramic or metal. They are easy to use, suitable for juicy feed and easy to clean. However, such feeders can be knocked over and dirty by rabbits. They are uneconomical, because the food often scatters and mixes with the litter.

Manger feeders are a lattice or mesh structure where hay, grass, branches are placed, which rabbits pull out through the holes. This is an ideal option for roughage, which is consumed by animals gradually. But they are not suitable for grain or wet feed.

They differ in the method of attachment. For example, external feeders are attached to the outside of the cage, and food is fed through a slot or mesh. They are convenient to fill without opening the cage. The food remains clean, and the animals are not disturbed.

Internal feeders, respectively, are installed inside the cage. Their advantages are better control over consumption and it is more convenient for rabbits to get food, but they can turn it over or contaminate it.

Wall feeders are attached to the cage wall from the outside or inside. They do not take up space on the cage floor, they are harder to tip over and can be hung at a convenient height. But if installed incorrectly, these feeders can wobble and fall out.

Suspended feeders are attached to the roof of the cage or the upper part of the structure on hooks or chains. They do not touch the floor, and at the same time are easily removed for cleaning.

How to choose the right feeder for rabbits?

As you can see, the choice is large. So which one to choose? Here you should consider some factors. First of all, determine the type of feed that you will use: will it be granular or loose (here it is better to give preference to hopper feeders, since they feed the feed automatically without spilling); or hay and grass (the optimal option would be a manger), and for vegetables, fruits and greens, cup feeders are well suited.

The number of rabbits and the size of the cage also matter when choosing a feeder. For 1-2 animals, a compact bowl or a small hopper feeder is enough. And for group keeping, it is better to buy hopper feeders for rabbits or manger models that allow several rabbits to approach the food at the same time.

Also consider the material of the feeders: metal ones - last a long time, but can rust without a coating; plastic ones - are lighter and cheaper, but will not last as long; the best option will probably be stainless steel - they are hygienic and wear-resistant; ceramic ones are heavy and stable, but fragile.

Choose a feeder also based on whether it will be easy to maintain, avoid complex structures that are difficult to clean, because they require frequent cleaning. The feeder should be stable.
