  Having a bit of an issue since Bagheera is a bit older than Lion.
  
  I have both kind of oxbow , T and the alfalfa 50 something …yea you know what I mean lol.
  
  Since they share the same food dish, should I just keep it mixed still of both types? Or switch them over completely to T you think? Lion is already larger than Bagheera and Baggy is …oh when did I get him, April? Baggy is so tiny its weird! Bee is 2x as big as him! I still pretty much free feed them, well, they get a full bowl in the morning and a full one at night, same with Bee and Indy still…They just harass me so much for pellets and Its hard to monitor who eats what since it’s in the same dish. Bun is the only bun who doesn’t scarf her pellets down. 1/2 cup can last her 2 days. She loves her hay and veggies.
  
  So I guess in short, should I switch over to basic T completely for the young boys? I’m running low on alfalfa based…dunno if I should reorder or not.
  
  I also need to buy a larger water dish for the stinkbink brothers, they go through that ceramic cabbage waterdish like there is no tomorrow!

  I think it would be fine to switch them over – you can always offer fresh alfalfa hay to them. Bag may just be a small rabbit.

  Yea Baggy is really small! I thought he would get as big as bee since we all figured they were from the same place. Interesting…maybe not now. Well who knows. I bet he is only 3lbs. What a dinky dude! That sounds like a good plan! thanks!

  I would definitely get them all on the regular T. Even if he’s smaller, he doesn’t want to get fat, just bigger in a healthy way. So more fresh alfalfa, or let him much on an alfalfa cube while you have him in his playtime (keep it away from the others), or just some extra hand fed hay or greens or carrots to build him up.

I was hoping you all would say it was okay to give them full T because I had forgotten to order the alfalfa based >< oopsie. I bet my fedex guy is wondering what a binky bunny is lol.

  With multiple rabbits and pairs, it’s much easier to just have to feed one food. They should all be fine on the timothy.
