Alfalfa is very healthy for young rabbits under 7 months old. From 7 to 12 months, the rabbit should slowly transition to an adult rabbit's diet (from alfalfa hay to grass hay). Healthy adult rabbits shouldn't eat alfalfa (except maybe in small occasional portions as a treat): adult rabbits should eat grass hays instead (like timothy, orchard, meadow, brome, etc). Alfalfa is too high in protein for adult rabbits, but it's perfect for growing baby rabbits; it's also sometimes good for sick/underweight adults, pregnant/nursing rabbits, and other adult rabbits who need extra protein for some reason. Alfa-Chews that are made of 100% alfalfa hay are great for young rabbits (under 1 year); if they contain other ingredients, though, they may not be healthy and should be avoided unless you know for sure they're safe.
