        Hello! I got my Mini-Rex bunny at an animal swap 5 weeks ago when she was 6 1/2 weeks old. I didn’t know much about bunnies so I didn’t know that this was no bueno and the people who sold her to me ensured me that it was alright. She is now 11 1/2 weeks old and I want to make sure that she is being fed correctly. Amount of pellets I should be feeding her? Help please

          Technically young rabbits can be free fed pellets, however some have a tendency to gorge themselves and then not eat any hay. Grass hay should be available at all time, and at her age an alfalfa based pellet should be fed, I would say up to 1/2 cup per day. Until she’s about six months when 2 tablespoons – 1/4 cup daily is plenty.

          You can also start to slowly introduce 1 green at a time now if you haven’t already.
