Here are a few forage options in Oklahoma for the rabbits! I did a little research here on the nutritional benefits of offering them common w**ds in addition to hay.

According to Virginia Tech's publication of
"The Nutritive Value of Common Pasture Weeds and
Their Relation to Livestock Nutrient Requirements" the nutritional values that have been recorded in these w**ds are as following:

Common Ragw**d: 73% invitro digestible dry matter
25% acid detergent fiber
25% crude protein

Dandelion: 78% IVDDM
17% crude protein

Horse w**d: * Only Feed when plant is immature!* Enjoyed when offered free choice in small amounts.
(Noble Foundation, 2007; personal observation)

Safe to nibble when plant is young for rabbits and has been observed to be non-toxic and bitter tasting when oils become concentrated to the point rabbits will avoid consuming the tannins.

It is also used to soothe diarrhea and possesses properties making it useful as an astringent.

Something I have recently decided personally is that I think I enjoy seeing my rabbits on grass more than I do in cages. I see them engaging in natural behaviors like digging, playing, and social grooming (which I have posted videos of before on my page).

I started this journey out really small with just a few rabbits and doing a daily turnout for my 2 does and 2 bucks was pretty easy since the does were sisters and the bucks could simply go out one at a time. Through my passion for rabbits, my herd grew over the last couple of years and now I find myself in situations where it's nearly impossible to do a turnout for rabbits and I transitioned to the more traditional way of just cage raising and not worrying so much about turnout time.

I think that even though cage raising has so many good benefits like absolute predator security, keeping them pretty clean and spot free, and being in the air conditioning... I can't forget about the major difference in their general happiness and expression of personality that I see when they are allowed to be rabbits.

I would never knock anyone for cage raising, I'm still cage raising right now. It's a smart way of doing things! I just think that somewhere along the line I stopped prioritizing the happiness of the rabbits and got focused more on doing things that were convenient for me.

That being said, I visited Lowes yesterday and made an investment into materials to build more grazing hutches and pens and I have currently moved some of my brood does to the exercise pen now that their babies are weaned. I think this is going to be a cool start to something that is going to end up really benefitting the rabbits.

These ears are to die for! These babies are opening their eyes now and hopping out of the nest box to chase mama down for milk. This is a blue rhinelander kit out of Sunnysideup (Sunny) and BrokenCashMachine (Rudolf).
