Hi all! I just have a question about my rabbits diet as I would like them to have the perfect diet.
I have dwarf lionhead rabbits they're all about 3lbs adults. They get 1/8th of a cup of pellets per day. Half in the morning and half in the evening.
I feed Martin Mills-Little Friends Timothy Adult. It's a Canadian made brand and I live in Canada.
Looking at this chart here:

It's a great type of pellet excepting that the calciumhosphorus ratio is a little low.
They also get unlimited hay (obviously ) it's a mix of timothy, orchard grass, and a bit of clover. I know clover hay tends to be higher in calcium so do you think that will make up for the lower ratio in their pellets?
They also get about a cup of leafy greens per day each (which regularly includes: Kale, corriander, parsley, arugula, sometimes a bit of others) I know kale is also high in calcium...
These are the best kind of pellets I can buy in my area. The second best would be oxbow but it is more expensive and not as good as these pellets
I just want to give my buns the best possible diet that I can! Thank you in advance for all your advice
