Should i keep at it?

Question

Should i keep feed my bunny 1/4 cup a day. Shes a 3 months .she was born in may. I got her at the shelter. shouln't i be feeding some in the evening so she doesn't starve

Answer 1

She should constantly have plenty of hay.. The idea is to feed her less of the more fattening/lower fiber food- pellets, and all the hay she can eat..

Rabbits are grazers, so they should eat all throughout the day, but, that doesn't mean they should eat pellets all day long or you'll have a fat, sick, rabbit. I would feed her a third of a cup a day since she's a growing bunny and all the hay she can eat..

Answer 2

1/4 cup of pellets and all the timothy hay the bunny can eat . Too much pellets can lead to health problems.

Answer 3

Yes you can increase the food. Maybe half a cup or so. She is growing and you cannot limit her food.

Answer 4

The general rule is 1/2 cup per 5 lbs. body weight, with unlimited timothy or mixed grass hay.

However, as a junior (under 6 months), the rabbit should have unlimited pellets too, because she is still growing. So I'd increase her pellets for the time being. When she turns 6 months old, you can switch to the 1/2 cup rule.
