Good Quality Feeding Habits for Rabbits

Tools: Email Bookmark

Three weeks to weaning (6 to 8 weeks)
Mother's milk and unlimited pellets and hay

Eight weeks to twelve weeks
Unlimited pellets and hay. Very limited amounts of treats, being especially careful to restrict moist treats.

Twelve weeks to adulthood (6 to 8 months, depending on the breed)
One ounce of feed per pound of body weight is the norm. However, some rabbits have higher or lower metabolisms. If the rabbit feels a little thin, increase the feed. If the rabbit feels a little fat, decrease the feed. Provide a handful to unlimited amounts of hay each day. A treat may be given daily if the rabbit is used to it. If not, build up to the point where it can have one treat a day.
