Depending on the age of your rabbit.



If your rabbit is under 4 months of age, its best to feed them pellets and hay, grass hay, and if you wanted to legume hay. Do not feed your rabbit vegetables or fruit until he/she is over 4-5 months old. Feed him unlimited hay, and about 1-2 cups of pellets everyday.



If or when your rabbit is over 4-5 months old, you can start to introduce vegetables and fruit, slowly. you can easily research what vegetables and fruits is safe for your rabbit, if you are unsure, don't feed it to him.



When he is older then 5 months old, you should reduce his pellets if he gets 1-2 cups of vegetables everyday. Still feed him unlimted hay, grass hay, do not feed your rabbit legume hay often when he is older then 4 months old, its too fattening, he can eat all the grass hay he wants, it will not make him fat, it's extremly good for their health and digestive system.
