So I have a question still for anyone with experience with growing bunnies especially that cant have pellets.. I know alfalfa needs to be cut off at around the 6-7 month mark, and plan to transition fully at that time. Currently, Bug weighs around 2.5 – 3 lbs, hard to get an exact measurement but that was roughly accurate. He is on NO pellets due to his intolerance for them.

We feed him 4 * daily of 1/3 cup greens, though I slightly over pack the 1/3 measuring cup. I reason that he has less nutrients than normal buns w/o the pellets… at 3 lbs he should be getting roughly 1.5 cups of veggies, so we are measuring 1 1/3, but with over packing its closer to 1.5 or possibly a bit over that. Does this seem a bit much..? He seems to be doing fine, his poops have been a bit softer and not bone dry since starting on greens, but that hasnt changed regardless of amounts. They are not excessively wet or something though.

In addition, he gets a decent handful of alfalfa in the morning, and evening, with small pinches throughout the day, with unlimited of all other hay types. I do limit the seeds from the oat hay as too many has caused him to make excess ceco’s.

My question is mainly the alfalfa… with him not being on pellets, I wonder if I should be doing a large amount of the alfalfa, or near unlimited. He goes absolutely bonkers for the alfalfa, and makes me feel like he is excessively hungry lol. The Oxbow bag states that a 3-5 lbs bunny should have the bag last 2 weeks i believe.. which is fairly close to accurate i think. But then again, he doesnt get pellets, so I am thinking maybe we should increase his access a bit?

He doesnt eat a ton of the other hays, more of a ‘im really hungry’ thing currently which isnt surprising.

Thanks as always!
