  I just got a 3 month old netherland dwarf. I dont know how much pellets to give him. I read that rabbits should have unlimited until 7 months. After 7 months 1/4 cup per 5 pounds per day, so would i reduce his pellets to 1/8 cup per day when hes 7 months. Should i give him 1/8 cup per day right now at 3 months?! He has access to unlimited hay. When can i start introducing fresh veggies?

  Hi! Right now he can have unlimited pellets. By 6 months, the quantity of pellets needs to be reduced – probably to no more than 1/8 cup since he is a netherland dwarf. You can start introducing veggies now or at 4 months, but you have to do it in very small amounts and only 1 type of veggie at a time. His stomach needs to slowly acclimate to veggies, and it may be sensitive to certain veggies over others.
