 What should a rabbit eat?

 Pellets

Your rabbit's main diet should be rabbit pellets. The most common amount of pellets they should eat is 1 ounce of pellets per 1 pound of rabbit, so if your rabbit weighs 3 pounds it should receive 3 ounces of pellets per day.  But rabbits under 4 months of age should have food in front of them 24/7 because they are growing a lot. Rabbit pellets can spoil or get moldy so you should only buy as much pellets as your rabbit/s will eat in a month.

 

Hay

 

Rabbits should be fed hay every day and it should be half of their diet. Hay helps reduce hair balls and intestinal blockage which can kill a rabbit.

 

Treats

 

Rabbits over 6 months can be fed treats 2 to 3 times a week and make sure you only give them a small amount, make sure you avoid treats that contain chemical fertilizers or pesticides. Rabbits under 6 months of age should not be fed treats. When you give your rabbit treats make sure you check to see if there poop is still hard and in a ball form if it isn't you should stop giving your rabbit that treat.
