        The shelter recently got a bonded pair, one bunny is a small holland lop mix and the other is a large Himalayan mix. How should I handle the food so they both get a reasonable amount of pellets and greens?

          So I have a New Zealand and a Dutch. I feed them the veggies according to their weight, so 3 cups morning and night all together in their box, the Dutch stops after he is full, and the girl will eat her fair share haha. But no one goes hungry, they eat their portion without having to be separated. And for pellets, well you can throw a pile in there or separate them. My girl will go crazy after them and eat almost all so it’s better to separate for pellets but it’s fine to not for veggies. I think a lot of people worry about two different sized bunnies with feeding time, but with my experience, it doesn’t affect them at all, only with pellets
