Thirty - six crossbred weaner male rabbits aged 5 - 6 weeks were randomly allocated to 4 dietary treatments. Each treatment having 3 replicates with 3 rabbits per replicate in a completely randomized design. Diet 1 was composed by 37% of maize (control group), diet 2 - 37% of yam peel, diet 3 - 37% cassava peel and diet 4 - 37% yam - cassava peel mix. The experiment lasted for 12 weeks. Results obtained revealed that rabbits that received diets 2 performed better (P 0.05) among the groups. It is concluded that yam peel, cassava peel, and yam – cassava peel mix could successfully replace maize in rabbits diets.
