156. You must also be careful not to feed your rabbits food that is sour or spoiled because it may make them sick.

157. Never give your rabbits fresh green food that has been standing in piles. Fresh green food left standing becomes spoiled very quickly.

158. If you are going to keep green food even for a very few hours after it has been cut, spread it out and turn it over from time to time so that it will not become warm, sour or spoiled.

159. If you build a rack like the one shown below, you can dry green food completely so that you can use it later when you cannot find fresh food.

Note

When the green food is dry, you can tie it in bundles and hang it in a place where it will stay dry and clean.
