Miniature bunnies have the same dietary needs as all pet bunnies. For details about a healthy rabbit diet, see the related question below. It applies to all pet bunnies, including miniatures.
One Answer - unlimited pellets diet: You should keep a constant supply of food on hand for your bunny. They will not overeat, but they do tend to nibble throughout the day. There are feeders designed to dispense pellets from a reserve into a tray to prevent them from getting wet or contaminated. You will need to check it everyday. Also, you can give them a little bit of fresh food daily. Make sure you wash any fresh food to remove any chemicals that may have been used during their growth. Some fresh foods that bunnies like are spinach, carrots, small slices of apple, and celery. They do like lettuce, but it is not good for them. It can cause them to be malnourished, so it is better to avoid it. It is also important that they have a constant supply of clean water.
A different answer - limited pellets diet: When rabbits have unlimited access to pellets, they do usually overeat, and this can lead to many different kinds of health problems. Rabbits that eat a diet of lots of hay, and only limited pellets, tend to avoid the common health problems and live longer, healthier lives.
A healthy diet for all pet rabbits (including miniature ones):
- Unlimited access to hay
- Unlimited access to clean, fresh water
- Limited pellets, served twice a day (total daily serving guide: 2-4Tbsp for a 5lb rabbit)
- Limited leafy greens, served twice a day (total daily serving guide: 1-3 cups for a 5lb rabbit)
- Treats (optional): fresh fruit - total daily serving no more than 2Tbsp for a 5lb rabbit

How much pellets do youy feed your rabbit?
Short answer: You should not feed your rabbits pellets at all. Feed them Timothy Hay. Long answer: Because rabbits have extremely sensitive and inefficient digestive systems, it's very important to feed them a strict diet. Unfortunately, many pet bunny owners feed their bunnies a base of pellets, since that is what pet stores sell for bunnies. THIS IS BAD FOR BUNNY. Instead of pellets, rabbits should be fed a diet consisting of TIMOTHY HAY. Not alfalfa hay--TIMOTHY HAY. You can find this in most pet stores, or, you can buy it in bulk through Oxbow Farms ( www.oxbowanimalhealth.com ). This is what I buy for my bunnies, and they LOVE it. You may, however, feed your bunny a small amount of pellets every day. Make sure the pellets are Timothy hay based (not alfalfa), and limit the amount of pellets you give your bunny. Too many pellets makes a fat bunny! Also, don't be tempted by the colorful "rabbit mixes" and treats sold by pet stores. They look appetizing to humans, but they are terrible for bunnies. It is also important to note what types of vegetables are suitable for your bunny. Though cartoon bunnies love carrots, they are not ideal for real bunnies. Carrots are high in sugar, which bunnies have a hard time digesting. If you want to give your bunny vegetables, romaine lettuce and parsley are PERFECT. Here is a complete list of good veggies for your bunny http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html Also remember--adopt! Go to www.petfinder.com to find a bunny looking for a forever home in your area!!
