        I have a mini rex rabbit, he is about 4 pounds. I usually feed him 1/4 cup of pellets every day and then a ton of veggies and hay. I was wondering about how much your rabbits weigh and how much pellets you feed them? also, do you think feeding at night or the morning is best?

          my buns, all 4lbs and under, get 1/8 cup pellets, although the 2 girls, being smaller, share the 1/8 cup. I feed pellets before bed, veggies at dinner time, and hay all day

            Fievel is just about 3lbs and Velvateen is around 1.5-2lbs. They get about 1/4 cup of pellets daily, split between 2 meals. Fievel eats all of his, Velvateen usually has a little bit left in his bowl. They get unlimited hay and tons of veggies… I’d say easily 2-3 cups of veggies each everyday. Pellets are in the morning and night and veggies are in the afternoon.

              Romeo and Tigerlily are both a little over 4 lbs.
              I feed them 2 tblspoons of pellets each in the morning. I do this early in the day because I’m usually not home until 4 or 5 in the afternoon and the pellets really fill them up. They end up sleeping until I get home. I give them about 2 cups or more of veggies each at dinnertime and refill hay before bed. I feed them at night because by that time, they’re hungry again. I refill hay before bed because they usually get hungry during the night, eat some hay, then leave the rest for the next morning. They also get treats here and there throughout the day, mainly in the evening.

                Her highness is a curvy 4 pounds. She gets a tablespoon of pellets each morning, hay, hay, and more hay all day, and 3-4 romaine leaves and a handful of cilantro. She gets a pot full of wheatgrass whenever she is in the mood for such greens

                  My buns are all a healthy weight. They weigh between 3.5 and 5 lbs. They all get, for breakfast and supper, a regular sized crock filled with greens, 1tsp Timothy Pellets (Bindi gets a bit more since he’s bigger) and unlimited Orchard grass hay. Before bed I give them a Romaine leaf and scatter a few pellets around their condos.

                    Momo is around 6 lbs, growing, and has a huuuuuge appetite. Right now she gets 1/3 cup timothy pellets, and a heap of greens daily. Variety varies on what I buy that week, but romaine is always a staple. Once she hits a year I am reducing her to a 1/4 cup pellets, unless her vet says otherwise at her check around April. She also gets timothy hay, unlimited. And orchard grass from time to time. I like to stuff it in toilet paper tubes with the occasional bit of fruit and leave her with that when we go to bed at night. Oh and I feed her late morning, early afternoon.
