At the end of the day, rabbits have hay, and that should actually make up the majority of the food consumed in a day. Whether you start with veggies, pellets, or a mixture doesn’t really matter! The one thing I caution rabbit owners against is having too many meals in the day. Two is the norm, and I think is the most appropriate— any more than that and you risk dissuading a rabbit from eating hay because it’s getting fed veggies/pellets frequently throughout the day.

I do my buns twice a day and break up the portions of pellets and veggies into two to give at both times. I do them in the morning when  I wake up, and in the evening around 5-6 p.m. It is great how you are planning ahead and making sure everything works smoothly, your buns are going to be so lucky to have you, and very spoiled 😉 You are going to be an excellent bunny mom. 🙂

I don’t have a strict schedule, I just feed some greens and pellets around 8-9 am, sometimes later if I noticed Louie hasn’t eaten much hay that night, then I feed them again at 7-9 ish, they just eat hay, so if the time window fluctuates a little it’s totally fine. I also replenish their hay at those times and any time I notice it’s running low.

Yes I agree with Wick that you don’t have to worry too much as long as they always have access to hay and water!

I feed pellets in the morning, and greens at night. Usually those are at 7am and 7pm, but if we’re out to dinner or with friends at night the greens can bee much later/earlier and same with the pellets for wakeup time. They adapt pretty easily 🙂 Also if you get on TOO strict a schedule your bunnies will start harassing you at the time of day for feedings, they really have an uncanny sense of time!
