OUR FORUM IS UP BUT WE ARE STILL IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING AND FIXING THINGS. SOME THINGS WILL LOOK WEIRD AND/OR NOT BE CORRECT. YOUR PATIENCE IS APPRECIATED. We are not fully ready to answer questions in a timely manner as we are not officially open, but we will do our best.
You may have received a 2-factor authentication (2FA) email from us on 4/21/2020. That was from us, but was premature as the login was not working at that time.

A variety is good. You don’t want grass hay (timothy, orchard, brome, etc…) to be a totally foreign concept when the baby comes of age. Some people will actually reverse it and feed grass hays, and add in a handful of alfalfa, but not use alfalfa as the main hay. Pellets *can* be alfalfa, but it’s also not necessary if a little bit of alfalfa hay is given. If you have other bunnies, I would really just feed whatever they get and add in a bit of alfalfa hay.
Meadow was the youngest rabbit I ever got (4 months old) and the rescue had been feeding timothy pellets and hay exclusively, so I just continued with that.
Edited to add: I love the look of “Hoe-toes”… (and love saying Hotot!) Make sure to post some pics when you can!
