  Alfalfa hay is okay for young, growing rabbits. It’s a good idea to start mixing in a grass hay (timothy, orchard etc) to get them used to it as it will be the majority of their diet. If your rabbits poos look a bit messy, its possible the junior pellets and alfalfa together is too rich. If that is the case, just giving the pellets and grass hay can help normalise things. Or alternatively, give and adult pellet, grass hay and some alfalfa hay every now and then.
  
  I’m not really sure if ionized water is safe or not for rabbits. The rabbit gut is meant to be very acidic, so my only concern would be if the water could upset the gut pH. (???)

  Ionoized water is said to be as good for your pets as it’s good for you, so I don’t see a problem with you bun drinking it.
  
  Alfalfa hay is good for young bunnies up to age 5-6 months. In addition to that, they should get young bunny pellets, but hold off on fresh vegs until about 12 weeks of age. So it sounds like you’re doing everything right! Congratulations to your new rabbit!
