I've never had a really young rabbit before, so I'm a little nervous about what to feed her. The shelterhad her down as 7mo but I don't see how that could be. She's TINY and only weighs 1.5lbs. My other mini rex was about 4 months old when I adopted him and he weighed about 2.5-3lbs if I remember correctly. I think that she is anywhere from 8-12 weeks tops. I'll post a pic of either me or Chris holding her so you can get an idea of her size. They won't give you food that was being fed from the shelter, so I have to completely change her over. She on Oxbow 15/23 now along with a mix of alfalfa and tim hay. If I remember correctly she needs unlimited pellets, right? Also, she was munching a romaine leaf when we were at the shelter so I let her have another one last night, just one leaf. Is that ok or should I wait? She had some runny poop Sunday night, but I think that was from the stress of being moved to a new home. They firmed up later that night and have stayed firm (and plentiful!)
So, I am free feeding her Oxbow 15/23, unlimited alfalfa/tim hay and maybe a romaine leaf every other day. Is that ok?
