         i feed my bunny Buffy about 5 times a day. :
        – 8 or 10 am – pellets 
        – 12 or 1pm veggies and a little bit of pellets 
        – 5  0r 6pm- pellets 
        – 9pm – pellets and  veggies or a treat before i’m off to bed! 

        *throughout the whole day, he has unlimited fresh hay! (:

        Buffy is around 6 or 7 months. my question is if i’m feeding the right amount of pellets and veggies at the right time. how many times a day should i feed my 7 month old bunny?

          What quantity of pellets are you feeding each time? At that age, he can get unlimited pellets, but it’s a good time to start reducing to an adult amount (1/4 cup per 5lbs bunny, but many of us feed less).

          What quantity of veggies are you feeding? A 5lb rabbit needs about 2-3 cups per day.

          I feed twice a day – at 7am and 9pm. It doesn’t really matter when you feed, though in general it’s probably best to feed more than once per day (which you’re doing).

              I think you can judge if you are feeding frequently enough by how hungry your rabbit seems, though they may get itno the routine and get excited.

              I think what you are doing-4-5 times a day is very close to natural; rabbits are grazers, and the smaller more frequent feedings are better than 1-2 large servings imo. They need to digest continually so I think your doing wonderfully.

              Has your bunny had a vet exam? It’s extremely hard online to look at a picture and say over/under weight or should change diet, but your vet can advise.
              As for the frequency, I think it’s great to feed less food more frequently.
