It can be a bit of a guessing game, but there are some indicators to help.
1) If there’s too frequent calcium pees, it’s time to switch to Timothy, either in the form of pellets, hay, or both.
2) If your rabbit is getting overweight, it’s time to begin limitting the pellets and potentially switching over to Timothy as well. If your rabbit still needs to grow (i.e. a bit skinny), rhen sticking with alfafa is still okay.
Wick was switched to Timothy hay and pellets at 3 months old due to calcium pees, but he did become underweight, which needed to be amended with one week of critical care feeding supplemented. So it was an easy “fix”, most likely needed because of an early switch.
