How much hay would a couple of rabbits eat in a month?
My local feed store has pellets for $11.00 for 25 pounds of food, The hay comes in 3 pounds for $6.00.
So I will just buy 4 bags of the hay at a time, But I would like to know how much it will cost per month, So I can determine how much chores I need to do

It depends what breed of bunnies you have, and how many, but I only have a single dwarf bun, so she could go through half a bag in a month lol

But if you're looking at multiple rabbits and larger breeds, it varies. Tell me what you think you want to get!

Also, for the toys question: my bunny most likely will not play with store-bought plastic toys, so do not waste your money on those. Instead you can make simple home-made toys, using things like toilet rolls.
Rabbits also like home-made toys with hay or natural treats in them. A bit like a dog's kong, where they have to use some skills to get the food out. You could cut a few holes in a pringles can, for example, and stuff some hay in there. (My bunny pulled it all out in one go with ease xD)

I get 30 pound bags and it take like 3 months for coconut to eat it, mayble would take a good 4 months. I would feed them more but Coconut has to be under 4 1/2 pounds and mayble has to be under 2 pounds to be showed without disqualification, it stinks . Also for toys mayble likes anthing that rolls around, and coconut loves to chew on wooden toys.

Hey, I was wondering what everyone's opinion was on meat rabbits here? Am I even allowed to ask this here? It's pretty much the only rabbit topic so I'm sorry if I'm not. I was just wondering if anybody here bred meat rabbits?

Well, rabbit's were originally bred and domesticated for meat, and my neighbor used to breed meat rabbits, and i was thinking about doing it myself, but I'm not sure if that'd be my fancy. Just like you said, i'm not sure if i can be saying this here.

i do not see why you should not talk about this here...sure it would be nice when you dont talk about to ...not child friendly things like how you do... things... as there are kids here, but i think you can write about your rabbits here, Show Picture of them, what breed you have,what you like to feed, and how -where you keep them , new Babys or new rabbits or why you think one breed is bether than the other for breeding and using for food...and such.

when im not wrong ..there are already breeder here who have meat and house pet rabbit´s
atleast in the old some did talk about this now and then.

I don't really breed meat rabbits but my sister does and she's butchered some of mine. I can't bring myself to try it myself lol. But I hear it's really good and is one of the best meats you can eat. Nothing against those who do have them for meat here.
