Information about feeding your Dutch Rabbits.
Confused about Feeding
I just bought some Dutch rabbits that I want to show, but I am confused about feeding. Some people tell me to buy high protein for the feed and some say regular protein. Some say to feed hay, others say they don't need it. I have heard that show animals should have sunflower seeds, linseed oil, wheat germ oil, oats, calf manna, etc. Others say I should not feed vegetables like carrots and lettuce. I would like to know what people who successfully breed and show rabbits feed.

Small Seniors
Recently I have bred a few litters, with different lines and colors. However, I see that the animals from the litters are very small, about 3.5 pounds each when they mature. They were bred by parents that were both normal sized rabbits.
What are some possible causes to my problem, and how can I fix this?
