How many times do you feed your bunny daily?

[Pandorachik]

I was just curious I guess

Leave comments on WHAT youe feed them with routines & stuff

[Monkeybun]

I picked 1 time a day, and by that I mean pellets once at night, veggies once around 6pm. Hay whenever they get low

[tobyluv]

I feed my bunnies several times a day. I split up their pellet ration into two portions, one around 5:30 pm and another around 11:30 pm. They get veggies (and fruit) at various times of the day–a tiny bit of diced apple first thing in the morning, romaine lettuce and either kale or turnip greens around 10:30 am, a little piece of carrot around noon, cilantro around 2 pm, dandelion greens around 4 pm, carrot tops around 7pm, parsley around 9pm, more romaine and kale or turnip greens around 10:30 pm. Another little carrot piece around 11:30 pm. They occasionally get broccoli or cabbage or Brussells sprouts or some other veggie. They always have a variety of hay available to them. I replenish it whenever it’s gone (or maybe peed on).

I work at home, so I’m able to give out the veggies throughout the day, instead of in one or two larger mixed salads. This routine may be strange, but it works for us. The veggies don’t lay around and get wilted or soggy. Since I give out multiple smaller portions, they get eaten right away.

1/2 cup ea. pellet in morning and greens at night. Hay 24/7

[bunnyfriend]

6 AM pellets Wilbur: 2 tbls, Totoro: 3 tbls
5 PM pellets: Wilbur: 1 tbls, Totoro 2 tbls

They also get their veggies sometime at night. I usually have to refill hay in the morning, afternoon, and before bed.

Twice a day, veggies in the morning, pellets in the evening. Hay whenever it’s low.

[mocha200]

I feed my bunnies twice a day. This is my routine.
12mM: They get veggies and I refill their water and hay.
10PM: They get veggies and I refill their water and hay.

So I do the same thing in twice. I also refill their hay whenever they need it.

[emkvet]

Hazel gets fed twice a day:

7-8 am: 1 tbsp. pellets, 2 cups veggies
7-8 pm: 1 tbsp. pellets, 2 cups veggies

She usually gets romaine, cilantro, parsley, and some other green (I rotate between kale, mustard greens, collards, etc.).
Because she’s a spoiled bun she usually gets a tsp/tbsp of Oxbow papaya treat medley at night when I call her into bed. And sometimes a bit of banana in the morning!

I feed my rabbit pellets in the morning and veggies at night!

[FrankieFlash]

My bun is still young so he gets unlimited pellets so I keep his dish full and just keep an eye on it to know how much he’s eating. But I answered on my average for veggies. I spread his veggies throughout the day since I’ve been doing that forever and you know how they hate a change in routine
He gets lettuce in the morning when I let him out or wake up. Then after he wakes up from his nap in early evening he gets parsley, cilantro, or italian parsley. On occasion he’ll also get a small handful of shredded carrots (I like to use them as a bribe). And then night-time he gets more lettuce (I rotate types: Red, green, romaine, etc) He also has lots of hay all the time.

[Sam and Lady's Human]

I feed them all day long, for the most part. I measure out how much they can have a day (1/4ish cup for Samson, 1+ cup for Lady) and throughout the day I’ll take a handful and toss ’em on the floor. Then at night I spread their salads around so they have to kinda look for it. Keeps ’em a little more entertained I think. On days I’m gone though, its usually twice.

[LoveChaCha]

Hay all day. I fill it up when I wake up, when I leave for work, and when I get home.

Chacha gets her pellets in the morning, and her veggies at 9:30 pm.

[peppypoo]

Unlimited hay, 2 tbsp pellets in the morning, greens at dinner, and 2 tbsp pellets again at night .

[LittlePuffyTail]

My buns get breakfast (7:00 am) and supper (6:00 pm) which consists of a crock full of veggies, small amounts of pellets and hay refill. Then they get a Romaine leaf and hay refill before bed. And usually little treats throughout the day.

I divide up Molly’s pellet rations throughout the day, mostly when I need her back in her cage…pellets in the morning before work, some more when I come home from work, and right before bed. I just take the amount she is allowed to have and divide it into 3. Hay is unlimited, and veggies are given at night time

[Stickerbunny]

Veggie usually are given for lunch, but sometimes I will be a bad slave and not give them til dinner time – pellets are given before bed. Hay is given whenever they need fresh stuff.

[Deleted User]

1 tbsp pellets in the morning each bun. Greens at afternoon and night for Mr Moo and Mr Poo. Greens at night for Missypants and Bighead (Bighead has a more sensitive tummy). Hay refilled several times daily.

[Deleted User]

Missy gets veggies in the morning about 1/3 cup pellets (since shes still kind of young) in the afternoon and then some more veggies in the evening. She always has unlimited hay

[Jenner]

Jenner gets veggies and a little bit of pellets in the morning, and then a little bit of pellets at night too. He sometimes gets veggies at night, depending on the stock of veggies in the house. My fiance will often bring home fresh spinach from his work in the evening, and Jenner loves that. He gets hay whenever needed. Sometimes I mix up new hay in his rack because then it entices him to eat more (he doesn’t eat that much hay).

[RabbitPam]

2x a day.
AM (while my coffee is heating up): 1 scoop pellets (measured 1/8-1/4 cup). Two freshened crocks of water. 1 small handful of assorted greens, ie. kale, romaine leaves, sprigs of parsley.

Make sure hay is topped off and unlimited. Occasionally dump for fresh.

PM: (5-6PM) New small handful of greens. Substitute a baby carrot for the parsley or kale. Might do carrot in AM but not 2 a day, only one.

She gets one morning treat and one go to bed treat. Healthy like Veggie Smacks, special cookies made for bunnies, or banana slice, etc.

[Pandorachik]

I give Pablo a smll dish of greens at 7am. (He is just starting to eat greens b/c he has never had them before, at his old life “Them old farm days”.)
Then when I get home from school at 3pm he gets 1 cup of pellets.
I will add that he has fresh hay and water at all times
(My mom will add hay while I am gone, if I don’t.)

[Monkeybun]

1 cup of pellets? How old is he?

[Pandorachik]

Monkeybun: He is 8 or 9 months old.
Note: I don’t give the cup of pellets ALL at once! I spread them out around 3-5pm. ANY suggestions on diet for my young bun would be very helpful. Because I have always had at least a year old buns.

[Hokankai]

I give Theodore his 1/8 cup of pellets in the morning before I leave for class, his veggies when I get home, and he munches hay through the evening

[Monkeybun]

All of mine get 1/8 cup or less, the girls share that 1/8 cup. You will definitely want to lower that amount, especially if he is 2lbs like you said in another thread.

[Pandorachik]

Mnokey: Oh! Ok thanks for telling me! I will maybe take a pic of how much I give him!
