Alfalfa is very different from normal hay, much richer and much higher in fats and proteins.
Your bunny could be in GI stasis, or having a bad reaction to the high sugar/fat content in the alfalfa. You should give plenty of gentle tummy massages, lots of water... and get your rabbit to the vets ASAP
Rabbits should have fresh hay available 24 hours a day. Rabbits less than 7 months old may have alfalfa hay, but older rabbits should have grass hays such as timothy or oat hay. Hay is essential to a rabbit's good health, providing the roughage that helps reduce the danger of hairballs and other blockages.
Pet rabbits should primarily be fed a diet of hay, fresh vegetables, and a small amount of pellets specifically formulated for rabbits. Treats should be given sparingly. Fresh water should always be available.
yyes you can if you have a horse!! barley is an oat and horses love oats
Rabbits shouldn't eat straw as it lacks significant nutritional value and can't be digested efficiently. Providing hay as a dietary staple is much more beneficial due to its high fiber content and essential nutrients. Straw is better suited for bedding material in a rabbit's living space rather than being consumed as food.
It is a black and white/silver bunny. They are very cute and most are sweet. (well mine is) They can be litter box trained and everything. Mine eats pellets and dried fruits/veggies. they also love hay. Alfalfa hay is good only as a treat. If you give too much alfalfa they could get diarhhea. Timothy Hay is the best choice. I also recommend giving them lots of toys because they are playful.
Rabbits that old should have alfalfa hay
Actually alfalfa in small quantities will not hurt your rabbit. Either a sprig of fresh or a small handful of hay is a great treat.
Use alfalfa hay, or anything you know your dwarf rabbit likes.

Alfalfa hay gives the most energy and so does alfalfa based grains. Alfalfa is much like eating sugar, in how it can makes you hyper. Racehorses are fed this to have a better performance in races.

Yes, any kind of pet rabbit can eat hay. Hay is the most important part of a pet rabbit's diet! See the related question below for more info about a healthy rabbit diet. Timothy hay (a kind of grass hay) is best as a staple for adults, whereas alfalfa hay is good for young and pregnant rabbits. Adult rabbits can eat other varieties of grass hay, too (like brome, orchard grass, meadow grass), but legume hays (like alfalfa) aren't good for them.
A pregnant/lactating rabbit should be fed a pellet that is alfalfa-based rather than timothy hay-based.
grass is healthy because its rich in vitamin A and D , also 1 fact the rabbit diet should be composed of eating grass and hay , eating hay helps promotes healthy teeth.
