Best Answer

The majority of your rabbit's diet should consist of timothy hay (not alfalfa). They should have unlimited access to it at all times.

Fresh veggies (especially dark green leafy ones) are excellent for your rabbit and should also make up the bulk of your bunny's diet. Fruits are great for snacks.

Leafy greens such as romaine, dandelion greens, endive, parsley, cilantro, basil, peppermint leaves, carrot tops, beet tops, radish tops, collard greens, and escarole are good, as well as vegetables such as carrots, celery, and broccoli. Kale and spinach can be fed in limited amounts. Generally, one heaping cup of vegetables per five pounds of body weight can be fed per day. Introduce new vegetables gradually, one at a time. If any diarrhea or intestinal upset is noticed, discontinue that vegetable. Treats such as apple, pear, raisins, melon, papaya, or banana can also be fed (about a tablespoon a day).

You can also feed your rabbit 1/8 -1/4 cup of pellets depending on their size. Pellets can be an optional addition to your bun's diet and under no circumstances should it be the primary food you are feeding your bunny.

Answer#2 A rabbit that can not get out into nature and eat the foods it needs for a balanced diet deserves the best balanced diet we can give it. That is a medium protein rabbit pellet fed according to rabbits size once or twice a day. Full feeding a rabbit will cause obesity. (full feed is feed in front of them 24/7.)Feeding a rabbit a cup of greens a day will surely give it diarrhea and will also limit the amount of nutrition it is getting. The above named greens ARE good for bunnies as a treat ONLY. Consult the related link below for accurate feeding instructions. Having timothy hay before a rabbit 24/7 is a great idea, good for them and alleviates boredom.

When its best to hunt rabbits.... Well I'm a hunter myself. Its best to hunt them during the season because when it is hunting season the rabbits are usually hungrier due to cold and lack of food. I trap them with my bait ( a mix of apples, lettuce, and some other things I grow). Anyway the rabbits also have parasites more when its not hunting season.
