how much should i feed my rabbit?

Answer 1

If your rabbit is two months old - it shouldn't be any bigger than the size of a football. If not, then the place where you got her/him ripped you off.... It happens a lot. Dwarfs, I believe, sell more because their "dwarfs" and of course are supposed to be a lot smaller than regular rabbits. The breeder could have lied or the person at the pet store just 'guessed' what it was.

Answer 2

Baby rabbits should have unlimited access to alfalfa hay and high-quality pellets. You can start offering fresh leafy greens in tiny amounts at 12 weeks (but observe for diarrhoea or other health problems). Between 7 and 13 months, slowly transition rabbits to an adult rabbit's diet. See the related question below for more info and helpful links.

Answer 3

A healthy rabbit diet includes unlimited access to water and to hay (because rabbits need to eat a lot of hay in order to stay healthy), as well as rabbit pellets and fresh leafy greens daily. How much pellets and greens you feed a rabbit depends on the rabbit's weight and age.

Baby rabbits should have unlimited access to pellets; at 12 weeks you can introduce greens in tiny portions, but it shouldn't be a big part of the rabbit's diet until they're an adult (1 year old); treats shouldn't be introduced until 6 months or so; from 7 months to 12 months, the rabbit should transition to an adult's diet.

For an adult 6 pound rabbit, the House Rabbit Society recommends 1/4-1/2 cup of pellets daily and at least 2 cups of greens (the more greens, the less pellets). If you want to give your rabbit a treat, you can offer small amounts (no more than 2 tablespoons per day for a 6 pound rabbit) of fresh fruit or vegetables.

Another answer:

Pellets:

If the rabbit is:

- a baby: 1/2 a handful

- an adult: 1 handful

Water: Like all animals rabbits need water to survive! You need:

- water bottle

- water

- string

Fill the water bottle half way for one rabbit (because if you fill it all the way to the top they will NOT finish it! hang the water bottle to the side of the rabbits cage/hutch.

Rabbits should be able to get to water at all times. The water bottle should be filled up with fresh water every day and should be cleaned out weekly.
hi! A middle sized hand ful of dry food is sufficient for one rabbit. However, Vets, and I, recommend that in the summer months, no dry food is given to rabbits. All they need is a large amount of dry grass, and lots of green plants. dry food can make rabbits become very overweight and it can cause problems in the mouth. Alfy x
a little hand full 2 times a day

Answer 4

A rabbit's diet should include good quality pellets, fresh hay (alfalfa, timothy or oat), water and fresh vegetables. Anything other than that is a "treat" and should be given in limited amounts. From www.rabbit.org (It has just about everything you need to know!) GOOD LUCK :) -TaraBelle

Answer 5

A two-month-old rabbit should have unlimited access to fresh water, alfalfa hay, and rabbit pellets.

At there months, you can start introducing certain fresh dark leafy greens in a daily salad (like Romaine lettuce, dandelion greens, carrot greens, parsley, cilantro, dill). Introduce the salad gradually. Start with small portion sizes, just a few bites. Start with one plant at at time: feed a tiny bit one day, wait a day, feed a bit more, wait a day, etc. Wait a week or two before trying the next new green. Watch the rabbit's health for any adverse effects (like gas, pain, runny stool, etc.) Research each plant online to make sure it's safe for bunnies first.

Between 7 and 12 months, the rabbit can gradually move to an adult diet.

Answer 6

Baby rabbits, once they're weaned, should have unlimited 24/7 access to hay (alfalfa, or an alfalfa-timothy mix) and high-quality pellets. Because they're growing, they're allowed to eat as much as they want. Fresh vegetables, however, are another matter. Treats (like fruit, and sugary vegetables like carrot) shouldn't be given to rabbits at all until they're around 6 months of age, and then they should be strictly limited to just a bite or two because too many treats can make a rabbit very sick. Fresh leafy greens (like Romaine lettuce, basil, and carrot tops) can be introduced at around 12 weeks, but they should be introduced very gradually: one at a time, in very small amounts, with slow increases and changes, and watch for signs of ill-health!
