There is no such thing as providing too much hay to any rabbit, regardless of age. However, alfalfa hay is too high in protein for adult rabbits and should be reserved only for babies under 6 months. A better alternative for adult rabbits is timothy hay. Keep an ample supply of hay readily available to your rabbit at all times. It provides necessary fiber to your rabbit's diet and aids in digestion, and is something healthy for your rabbit to chew when it gets the urge to nibble.
What is alfalfa good for?
Alfalfa is often fed to horses to give the horse more energy. However, if fed to a horse, it should be in very, very small quantities because alfalfa is a legume- not normal grass- and legumes are very, very rich. Alfalfa will cause stones in the stomach because of how rich it is, and these stones can kill a horse when they grow to a large enough size. I avoid alfalfa at all costs just to be on the safe side, and my horse is fine without it.
Is alfalfa good for horses?
Good quality hay can provide most of the nutrients a horse needs. Hay can be grass hay (ex. Timothy) or Legume, more commonly called Alfalfa. Legume hays are much higher in protein than grass hays, although, it should not be the only source of forage for young, growing horses, due to its high Phospherous level. Grass hay and Legume hay mixed is a great choice of forage, other than grass, for horses.
