Calf manna to fatten meat rabbits,

Would calf manna fatten meat rabbits?

I believe some have used it. Black oil sunflower seeds and rolled oatmeal will also fatten them. A pinch of each a day.

I've been using sunflower seeds I'm working on gettin oatmeal.

Hopefully some other rabbit owners will let you know about the calf mana.

Hopefully. What about just old fashion Quaker oats?

I use that when I can't get the big bag from the feed store.

I speak second hand:
I knew a lady who used Beefmaker and alfalfa to fatten rabbits. Her rabbits were THICK. I do not remember the ratios or frequencies, just that she did it.
She also prevented them from completing the fecal recycle thing rabbits do. I do not know why or if that played a part in her rabbits being so thick.

Alfalfa hay? Cause that's the hay I've been using

Whole oats https://www.google.com/search?q=who...75dDhAhWpTt8KHT1lDVoQ_AUIFCgC&biw=360&bih=660
or like oats used in oatmeal?

Yes. It was alfalfa hay. I think there is a Backyard Herds or something similar that would have more information. I honestly cannot remember her ratios. And the Beefmaker had bits of cotton in it... used to do something with the calf in rumination but she said it didnt bother her rabbits.
My knowledge of rabbits is limited (they are soft, keep them dry, they poop marbles, they taste good). But, I would ask the backyard Herd people about Beefmaker. They might have some good info.
