Hay, Hay, Which Is Better?
ISEF · 2022 Animal Sciences
Overview
The purpose of this experiment is to provide a healthy balanced diet for my rabbits. Focusing on the rabbits health and their fur. Their fur can be a direct reflection of their overall health. By providing the proper nutrients needed in their diet. In this experiment I focused on how the hay affect their fur, how much water they consumed, and active the rabbits were. Procedures included providing fresh hay, fresh water, providing 1/3 cups of feed daily, exercise/playtime, and daily grooming. In the experiment two types of hay was tested, mixed hay and timothy hay. The results of the experiment are the rabbits eating Timothy Hay improved in the amount of energy by being more active during time for exercise/playtime. The rabbits fur became shinier and overall softer to touch. Also, the rabbits eating Timothy Hay drank more water. In conclusion, My rabbits were more health eating Timothy all nature hay.
