  Sorry for all the questions lately. I got 2 rabbits a week ago. One is around 2 years old but the other is just 18 weeks. I would like to know if he needs any specific care because he is just young. Is Timothy hay fine for him at 18 weeks or does he need alfalfa? What amount of pellets and vegetables does he need? Anything else he needs due to his age?
  
  Thanks everyone

  Unlimited alfalfa hay and unlimited alfalfa pellets. If he starts to over eat the pellets and ignore the hay, cut the pellets to 1/4th cup a day. No veggies until he is six months old. Once he is six months, slowly start mixing timothy hay into his alfalfa hay, and mixing timothy pellets with his alfalfa pellets. You can slowly introduce new veggies around then. By slowly, I mean a new veggie once a week so you can carefully see what does and does not work with his tummy
