Today I am sharing "A Guide to Sourdough Starter" - I created this as an all-inclusive tool for you to use to ensure your sourdough starter is thriving!

Let’s talk pellets!

Bunnies under 3 months are given unlimited access to pellets so they can grow. Once a bunny reaches 3 months, it’s a good idea to start cutting back on pellets - to an extent! See what I do at the bottom of this post!

Adult rabbits only need 1/4 - 1/2 cups of pellets per day. It is imperative to feed your bunny quality, hay-based (alfalfa hay/meal for young bunnies or timothy hay/meal for adult bunnies is the #1 ingredient). There are a lot of low-quality rabbit pellets on the market that are actually unhealthy to even feed your bunnies. Also, quality pellets should be green in color, not brown, and smell fresh. Some great quality brands of pellets are Kalmbach, Oxbow, Small Pet Select, and Sherwood.

Sourdough Facts

• Sourdough has an enticing, tangy, flavor.

• Sourdough is a term that refers to both bread and the starter used to make it. The sourdough starter begins with a combination of flour and water.

Today I am sharing my kid's favorite recipe - Sourdough Discard Pancakes! They beg for these almost daily! Have fun with add-ins like chocolate chips + blueberries! Enjoy!

Hay is 80% of a rabbit’s diet. It’s the MOST important part of a rabbit’s daily intake and should be available for them to eat and nibble on at all times. It keeps the digestive tract moving and prevents GI stasis. Unlimited grass hay, such as timothy or orchard should be fed daily.

Usually, a rabbit will eat a bundle of hay around the same size as his/her body in a day (some eat more). Put the hay in or over the litter box. Make sure that the hay you have consists of nice long strands and smells fresh. If it is a little dusty, shake it out before giving it to your bunny.

I highly recommend Timothy hay as it is higher in fiber and promotes healthy digestion.
