A very young bun can have free pellets and alfalfa in order to get as much protein as is needed for proper growth and development. At around 6 months you cut back on the pellets and stop the alfalfa. It is of course great to try and implement a sound grass-hay-eating-habit while the bun is still young. You can cut back on the alfalfa if she gets ad lib pellets, because then she’ll just eat more of the pellets and still get everything she needs protein-wise. But that’s only if you want to. Young buns do well on alfalfa but it’s way too rich and has too much calcium for an adult.

Once you’ve started giving greens you can go on introducing new greens little by little. It’s often recommended to start feeding greens at age 12 weeks, but since she’s been fine with getting greens earlier, you can just keep introducing stuff like parsley, mint, spinach, collard greens, chard, kale, pak choy, fennel, celery sticks cut into little pieces (1/2 inch) etc. You give a little bit, then wait a few days to see if the new green agrees with her tummy, then you can give a little bit more of the same or try another green. It’s always wise to try and rotate the greens as best you can, for variety and a “full set” of nutrients. Hopefully you and your family like greens, because in the beginning there will be left-overs – she can’t (or at least she absolutely shouldn’t) eat like a whole bag of spinach before it wilts.
