Ideal diet for rabbit?

[vek555]

I feed my lop eared rabbit (3 mos old) a handful of alfalfa-based pellets every day. (I don't know the brand or details because I got it from a feed store). I also make sure he always has fresh timothy hay and water (in which I put vitamin drops, about 1/4 of the recommended amount).

I want to make sure hes eating the perfect diet and I want to weigh out the exact amount (or measure it out) every day so that it's consistent. Exactly how much pellets, hay, and vitamins should I be giving him every day? Like I said hes 3 months old, not sexually mature yet, and I think he weighs around 4 pounds. Thanks so much!

There really is no exact science, as all rabbits are a lil different. For instance, mine gets unlimited hay (but it's not Timothy or alfalfa), about a half cup if pellets, no vitamins and random veggies and greens occasionally. But he's healthy and happy. You just have to figure out what works for your bun.

Here is a good website that gives some pretty good estimates:
