Hi,

Until about 6 weeks, rabbits should be fed kitten formula from a pet store. After they wean at 6 weeks and their eyes open, you may introduce the bunnies to plain alfalfa pellets, hay, such as oat hay, timothy, alfalfa, and for wild rabbits, in addition, add dark leafy veggies such as carrot tops, parsley, dandelion greens, etc.

Hope that helps!

Yes bunny rabbits can eat unlimited oxbow alfalfa pellets with unlimited oxbow alfalfa hay and be sure to change your bunny's water daily. Call around to find a vet in your area who specializes in rabbits so you can get a well baby check up. Bunny's can be liter box trained
and can hold their pee/poop til they can get to the liter box. Use a soda box with newspaper
and a paper napkin on top so your bunny's feet don't get black. Clean liter box often to prevent
it from smelling. After one year old your bunny can graduate to 1/4cup Oxbow Timmothy pellets along with unlimited Oxbow Timmothy or Orchard Hay. See House Rabbit Society for
suggested vegetable choices. Veggies should be fed after 6mos old.
Please do not give your bunny any kind of store bought pellets with treats inside. And do not feed your bunny any human foods like chips,pizza, candy etc...It will insure a healthier bunny.
