Feeding rabbits in winter

 I have noticed the hay is not lasting as long, as the days get shorter the rabbitts prepare for winter and are eating more for some extra weight. I don't add extra pellets but I do try to fill hayfeeder as much as I can.  As the foraging has gotton slim I do give my rabbits some types of lettuce (no head lettuce) and a few vegtable scraps.  When the teps drop I will add a few black oil sunflower seeds to the pellets.  But most of my feeding is generally the same.  I do throw in a few pine branches for variety. 

I hope you have a good winter and your rabbits stay safe and warm!
