1. According to the growth stage, choose different feeding methods

1.0~4 months old rabbit: unlimited timothy/timothy grass + 2 handfuls of alfalfa per day + 1 handful of rabbit food twice a day + unlimited drinking water (cold boiled water or It is pure water)

Rabbit 2.4~6 months old: Unlimited timothy/timothy grass + 1 handful of alfalfa per day + 1 handful of rabbit food twice a day + unlimited drinking water ( Cool boiled water or pure water)

Rabbit over 3.6 months: unlimited timothy/timothy grass + 1 handful of alfalfa grass a day + 1 handful of rabbit food twice a day + unlimited drinking water ( Cool boiled water or pure water)

Second, why should I feed it like this?

Rabbits aged   0-6 months, rabbits at this time It is developing and growing, so there needs to be a transition stage in food. Of course, the so-called transition is to start reducing the giving of alfalfa. Why do you need to reduce it? Because alfalfa grass is a high-calcium and high-protein grass (newborn rabbits need calcium intake and supplementation to grow to their full potential), for rabbits in the physiological development stage, only consolidation is required, but supplementation is not required. By the time the rabbit is an adult (6 months old), the alfalfa grass is no longer needed.

It is very necessary for rabbits to drink water. Secondly, we can also provide snacks: carrots, vegetables, peanuts, oatmeal, etc., but the quantity must not be too much.
