  Is there a difference in foods that’ll affect my rabbits health? My bun is 12 weeks old, and I feed it Adult food. Is this okay?

  Feeding a baby bun an adult formula pellet is fine. You may want to supplement with alfalfa hay though since a young bunny formula would be alfalfa-based. You want them to have a little more protein and calcium (and calories) to help them grow.

  Adult is normally timothy based and junior is alfalfa based. If you are feeding timothy hay them the junior is fine. If you are feeding alfalfa hay, stick with the adult. Our vet said we were fine with adult oxbow when ours were 12 weeks. (It got to be a pain having one on adult and two on junior so we transitioned all to adult and all are healthy)
