 =====Feed & Forage=====
-TAMUK-C were developed as a backyard meat rabbit breed. They can be sustained wholly on pellets and hay but they are also well adapted to forage. However, because this is not a specific adaptation of TAMUK-C, it's best to acquire your rabbits from breeders that feed forage if this is an important aspect to you. Anecdotally, there does seem to be a lower incidence of weaning enteritis among TAMUK-C and especially those that feed forage regularly.

+====Anecdotally Safe Plants to Feed====
+This list is compiled via experience with giving these plants to TAMUK-C rabbits and having observed no ill effects. Feed under your own caution and discretion.
