  At 6mo, you can start transitioning into adult proportions/content: https://binkybunny.com/infocategory/healthy-diet/
  
  The most potentially GI-disruptive change is young to adult rabbit pellets, so make sure you it is a slow transition over multiple days, adjusting the proportions so you’re mixing both kinds in until it’s just adult left, in addition to an adult quantity.
  
  The link above is BinkyBunny’s diet guide! Since your rabbit is 3lbs, just halve the parameters mentioned for 6lb rabbits.

  You can keep feeding the young bunny pellets for a little longer. But definitely start giving a smaller portion. It will probably be easier to reduce the amount first, then transition to the adult pellet.
  
  The link Wick provided gives general guidelines. Pellets will vary somewhat. But, in general, a 3lb bunny will be getting 1/8 cup of pellets. Keep any fruit treats to a minimum. They say nothing larger than the end of your thumb, if that helps. So just a sliver of banana, for example. Veggies are safe to feed every day, but you need to rotate types since some are high in oxalic acid. Here is an explanation: https://binkybunny.com/bunnyinfo/veggie-list/

    Yes fruits and things like carrot should be very rare and a small piece. If it’s very yummy, it will still be very rewarding to them even if it’s only a small piece. 🙂 I really only give my buns fruit as a very special treat, such as after a nail trim.
