Answer 1

You should feed her veges and greens in the morning. then in the evening give her some pellets.

She should have 24 hour water and hay access. Its good to feed her twice a day. About a handful or more, depends if shes big or small.

Answer 2

I breed netherland dwarfs so I do not free feed because that would cause them to become fat and would make them less likely to breed or they would go out of good condition.  I feed my rabbits once a day and I adjust the amount to each rabbit's needs because some can finish more food than others.  If you are not planning on breeding or showing your rabbit then you can free feed. Make sure she has enough to finish in a day without having any extra the next day. Overweight rabbits can have health issues so make sure you are feeling her body so you notice if she is too big or too little.  

Answer 3

You just need to feed her once a day, at the same time every day so they don't get confused although it doesn't matter very much.

The amount of pellets you need to give her depends on her weight. She needs about 1/8 of a cup for every pound of her body weight. So say she's 4 pounds, she would need 1/2 cup of pellets every day.

Heres some green stuff you can feed her:

Romaine lettuce (NOT ICEBERG!)

Parlsey

Cilantro

Dandelion greens

Clover

Carrot tops (and carrots, but they are fatty so don't give very much)

And some fruits:

Apple (no seeds! Seeds are toxic! I just give them little pieces.)

Papaya

Pear

Peach

Watermelon (yes, with peel it's good for them)

Orange (with peel, it's good for them)

Plum

Raspberries

Very few pieces of banana

A few grapes (you really have to limit banana and grapes though!! They're very sugary.)

I hope I helped!!

Answer 4

depends on what kind she is if she is dwarf, or dwarf size

then a little lies then a half of a cup.

Average size which i think is around 3 and a half pounds

is a half cup.

anything bigger i really dont know, sorry.

but i feed mine once a day in the afternoon at the same time.

they are not like people and need to be feed twice+ times a day.

Do not feed it Cabagge and Lettuce it hurts there stomach.

Answer 5

hello there

a mature rabbit's feeding time is this:

♦hay every time.a good supply of hay must be given at all times.this is for dental purposes.a rabbit who doesn't receive enough hay will have a higher chance of having certain types of dental diseases.

♦pellets-every meal,you should give 1/4 cups of pellets.pellets are scientifically designed to meet the digestive need of rabbits.

♦greens,vegetables,fruits-must be given in moderation.at least half a cup once a day.avoid lettuce,potatoes,apple cores and bell pepper.

a rabbit must be fed thrice a day.once in the morning,once in the afternoon,and once before bedtime.

have a nice day!

Answer 6

You should just her food all the time. Make sure she always has food. And only give ehr veggies (not iceburg lettuce) 2-3 times a week!

Answer 7

Without knowing her size here's a rough guideline;

- a serving of hay as big as her body

- a serving of pellets as big as her ears

- a serving a vegetables as big as her head

- a serving of treats as big as her tail

daily

Answer 8

Leave a bowl of food down and  alot greens they eat all the time.Good luck.

Answer 9

Your bunny should have access to a bowl of fresh pellets everyday, also alfalfa hay or timothy grass should be given to them daily also fresh water!!

Edit: It depends what type of "greens" you give your rabbit, Iseburg lettuce has no nutritional value and will cause diarrhea, get fresh dandielion leaves they are loaded with good stuff, make sure you wash them off good if you pick them yourself.
