About 350-360 gms of the diet (varies with animal size) needs to be consumed per animal per day to sustain a normal daily weight gain. The growth rate needs to be similar to that attained by young rabbits when maintained on good quality, non-purified rabbit diets. Prepare as needed (daily if necessary) and always refrigerate to minimize any loss of nutrients after preparation. We advise preparation of fresh diet (if not daily) every 4 days even though bacterial growth is not occurring. Always make certain that good suspension is maintained in the prepared diet. Additional water may be provided from separate drinking tubes, but may not be consumed. Animals need to adjust to their surroundings and conditions. After this period, provide some of this liquid diet to the animal while its regular feed is present. Over a 5-10 day period gradually reduce the regular feed until it is no longer needed. This adjustment period is critical to allow the intestinal/cecal microflora to adjust and thus avoid potential imbalances to develop where unhealthy animals could result. An animal that does not seem to adjust properly should be removed from the treatment.
