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.
