ABSTRACT:
A bunny feeder is disclosed, removably mounted to a rabbit creep feeder and adapted to be secured to a rabbit hutch. Both feeders have feed storage hoppers communicating with open feed troughs. The troughs and hoppers are mountable through a small opening in the screen wall of a hutch so the troughs project inside the hutch and the hoppers project outside. An edge of a front wall on the bunny feed through projects forward of a similar lip on the creep feed trough. The bunny feed trough is situated below the creep feed trough so any doe feed that may spill over the lip of the creep feed trough will be caught by the front wall of the bunny trough and be guided into the bunny feed trough. The hopper of the bunny feeder cooperates with the hopper of the doe feeder to define a restricted opening, communicating with the bunny feed trough, that effectively prevents bunnies from escaping by crawling through the hopper.
