    The rabbit pindone pellets need about 20 in total. The theory is that 2 feeds over a few days of 20 pellets is better than on big feed. This as been tested and a longer feeding time produced a better kill rate. Because the rabbit does not get sick immediately it will not be posien shy after a first feed and likley to keep feeding as long as the pellets are available. I would generally spread up to a minimum of 3 times. About 4 day intervals. Very good results can be obtained if every rabbit gets its fill, so dont be too tight on the amounts. Im told the 1st feed will be scoffed by the bucks and bigger rabbits so the second feed should be generous. I just gauge how much Im going to put out depending on how much is left from the previous feed. Thats a good indicator. Fresh pellets are eaten more readily than pellets that have started to ''blow'' ..disintegrate.
