Should I feed my 7-month-old rabbit at the same time every day?

Pellets should be limited to no more than 1/8 cup daily. You can feed a1 cup of vegetables per 4 pounds of body weight daily. Timothy hay or similar grasses can be offered in unlimited amounts. Alfalfa can be fed up until 7 months of age then discontinued.

Rabbits should be eating adult food by 6-7 months of age. Discontinue feeding alfalfa at that time also. Feed unlimited amounts of timothy hay, oat hay and similar grasses. Limit commercial pellets to no more than 1/8 to 1/4 cup daily for adults.

Hi there. A high portion of the rabbits diet should be coming from Timothy hay. I usually recommend 1/4 cup per day of pellets per rabbit. However, if you are currently feeding more than that I suggest a very slow wean. Rabbits do not tolerate a rapid diet change well. Have fun with those baby bunnies! Thank you for using Pet Coach.

Great questions! From weaning up to seven months of age, Lenny can have unlimited amounts of pellets and alfalfa hay. Since he can have this food in an unlimited amount, just make sure he has plenty of both at all times, replacing old food with fresh food at least once a day. Do not start introducing vegetables until he is three months of age. At that point in time, start introducing small amounts at a time. I hope this helps!

That's fine, as long as they are kept warm. Does (female rabbits) typically nurse once or twice daily. The kits (bunnies) will begin munching on hay within the next few days. They can eat alfalfa (until 7 months of age), timothy hay or oat grasses and fresh vegetables in addition to a commercial pelleted diet.

It can certainly be the same if of good quality. Rabbits should have fresh hay available 24 hours a day. Rabbits less than 7 months old may have alfalfa hay, but older rabbits should have grass hays such as timothy or oat hay. Hay is essential to a rabbit's good health, providing the roughage that helps reduce the danger of hairballs and other blockages.

Pellets can predispose a rabbit to obesity. They may not provide the amount of fiber needed to maintain a healthy gut. You don't need to feed just produce. Ellie should be fed as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as she wants to eat. These grasses are relatively inexpensive. You can feed alfalfa until she is about 7 months old then discontinue feeding it. Supplement the diet with a cup or two of fresh, dark, leafy greens and vegetables daily. Up to 1/4 cup of commercial pellets can be offered daily.
