In this regard, many breeders refuse to breed a cross, considering it not profitable. There are, however, rabbit breeders who have successfully bypassed the uncomfortable obstacle, replacing expensive feeds with self-prepared mixtures. 
Recipe mash for fluffy:
- ground stalk of corn stalks;
- crushed straw of oats, amaranth, and other cereals;
- three tablespoons of salt;
- three liters of boiling water;
- one sugar beet, carrots;
- 150 g pumpkin.
The crushed chop is compacted into a 10-liter bucket, filled with water and salt, and infused for about ten hours. Then the vegetables are rubbed on a large grater, mixed with the steamed chop mixed in the pelvis and laid into the feeder. The number of ingredients is regulated depending on the size of the herd.
We recommend reading about how to determine the sex of a rabbit, how long it lasts and how to determine the sugary nature of a rabbit, whether it is possible to keep chickens and rabbits together, what affects life expectancy and how long the rabbits live on average, what to do during sun and heat stroke in rabbits.
What else needs to be taken into account: in the summer there are vegetables and fresh herbs, you should not overdo it with their amount, the breed is adapted to mixed feed. In winter, roughage should prevail. 
In the case of self-preparation of feed mixtures, you need to enter vitamin and mineral supplements. Chectonic is considered a popular drug, the drug is added to water (1 ml / 1 l), the animal is soldered for 5 days, 1 time per month.
