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.
