Question

My 8 week old Lionhead rabbit eats a LOT, all the time. Is this healthy?

Answer 1

Yes.  Rabbits nibble hay all day throughout their lives, they are grazers.  Plus a young rabbit grows rapidly and needs to eat a lot during that period of time.  It's fine.  Once your bunny reaches 6 months old, monitor its weight.  You'll need to ration pellets after 6 or 7 months old to keep it at a proper weight, most of their diet should be grass hay, veggies, and a very small amount of pellets after that point.

Answer 2

keep  a eye on its poo if it gets  running take it to the vet asap

they have very sensitive tummies so the dry food should be the  same it was feed on in the shop

goodluck with your new lion head i have 2 atm and they are lovley! do you know about vaccines ? they are vital!

Answer 5

At such a young age, they can still eat food freely. In about a month, start limiting the amount of food he gets.
