  Hi there!
  These websites should help you out on what to feed your rabbit and when:

  https://rabbit.org/faq-diet/
  
  As for the spring mix, it sounds good to me, however I believe you should hold off on lettuce until your bun is about 3-4 months old. Then introduce it very slowly, so they can adapt to eating it and it doesn’t upset their very fragile digestive system.
  Hope this helps you!

  You should wait to feed any food besides hay and pellets until 4 months of age or older as their gi flora isn’t mature enough yet and could cause major upsets and diarrhea and could be very bad
