Always unlimited hay! Alfalfa can be fed up to about 4-5 months old until it becomes too fattening, though if you’re feeding unlimited Timothy hay its really not needed. The pellet proportions sound fine as they are growing and will continuously eat

When I first got my 2 bunnies at 9 weeks they had tiny poops and were already 90% trained in using the litter tray but i’m worried i’m feeding them too much as within a couple of days of me having them their poo’s wen’t huge and they have recently started to poo wherever they want :-/ 

I’ve been feeding them 2 tablespoons of pellets in the morning and 2 tablespoons in the evening between them both, a small handful of alfalfa hay and around 6 large handfuls of good quality timothy hay per day but they always eat it all immediately and still seem hungry as they keep escaping from the indoor rabbit run, going straight to the bags of hay.  I read that bunnies should have unlimited hay but does that depend on the hay? my timothy hay is quite green so I’m thinking that could be why they eat so much of it as they go through brown timothy hay very slowly if at all so I just use that as bedding now. 

No, it doesn’t matter whether what colour the hay is or what type it is, they need unlimited access to hay at all times. They probably eat less of the brown Timothy Hay because it’s poor quality whereas the greener Timothy is better. 

Larger poops are better than tiny ones. If they don’t have enough hay, they can have small poops. And they’re babies – babies poop everywhere. 

Limiting a rabbits timothy hay can cause a lot of internal problems, some of which can lead to death and lifelong problems that wont get better. Always give them unlimited timothy hay

It sounds like they are becoming hormonal since you said their litter habits are worsening. Youll want to separate them so they dont fight and seriously injure or kill one another. If theyre opposite sexes you want to separate them anyway to avoid accidental pregnancies. Hormonal rabbits will poop mark, as in, poop EVERYWHERE

Female buns are at a huge risk for cancer if they are not spayed. Also both will need to be desexed to bond them

Thanks for the replies, I’ll be giving them unlimited hay from now on. We thought we had 2 males but after taking them to the vets for their vaccinations one bunny turned out to be a female lol. I’m planning on getting the male spayed when he gets a little bigger. Do you think it would be necessary to get the female neutered as she’s not too bad with her litter habits.

Spaying a rabbit is absolutely essential. If she isn’t spayed, there’s a very high risk of her developing uterine cancer. Please get her spayed. Make sure you separate the bunnies otherwise she’ll get pregnant.
