Fodder after 6 days in the tray. |

Spraying down the grass to get rid of vinegar flavor. |
After
the mold fiasco, I still kept the fodder going, and it continued to grow. Finally, I decided that the fodder had probably grown enough that I should probably feed it to the rabbits. Since I had been spritzing the whole thing with white vinegar after every watering, I rinsed the whole thing off with water before taking it out to the rabbits. (Vinegar is usually not regarded as a pleasant flavor, especially not white vinegar).

Whole growth after 6 days in the tray. |
I dumped the whole thing out onto the top of our house rabbit's cage. I thought it would be funny to watch her nibble at the grass upside down (she's a white rabbit, and the idea struck me with a kind of
Wonderland madness). Plus, I wanted to get a good look at the root mat. It was surprisingly thick, which made me happy. Our last run had a disappointingly thin root mat, despite having grown a day longer than the current run.

Nice thick root mat for this round, compared to the thin one from our last run that took 8 days. |
