That is an interesting diet but I suppose it’s due to a wide variety of reasons. I think the pellets you are going to give are fine since they are high quality. Their diets have been pretty high in sugar already so I think you would be safe to start them on a better variety of greens. Luckily they are used to a higher sugar content but they still appear to be very healthy and a good size as well, not overweight. It’s good as well they love their hay. I say continue with the pellets at that level and the unlimited hay, cut back on the sweets and continue daily with the greens.

I think you are right – start of the greens slowly since they are used to pellets and hay.

When you introduce a type of green for the first time usually the general advice is to start very slowly, like just a piece of a romaine leaf the first day, a larger piece the second, maybe a whole leaf the third. This way you can monitor their droppings and make sure they’re not affected. Once you know they tolerate a good quantity of that first veggie you can start adding a second one gradually in the same way. It’s a bit tedious, but it helps you make sure that the rabbit responds well to each veggie.

I’m not sure why people feed a higher amount of pellets every other day? Is it just that they can’t be bothered to give some pellets each day? Strange. I’m assuming you’re going to feed them a 1/2 cup EACH day… which is a good amount for buns their size.

Well I think it really depends on the rabbit. Some will scarf down the full cup the first day instead of pacing themselves while other will eat it throughout the two days. If your rabbits do eat it gradually over two days it really doesn’t matter if you give the pellets to them in the larger 1 cup quantity every other day.
