  Hello guys!
  
  I’ve a 3 month old rabbit and since I had him for a week he has grown twice the size. He was the size of my palm, really skinny – and now he’s twice the size! I’ve researched online and it says to feed him unlimited hay and pellets.
  
  Morning – I give him a small bowl of pellets refilled and some greens – hay is always there
  
  Evening – I refill his bowl of pellets for the night and a bit more greens
  
  I don’t know if I’m feeding him right? He has been eating alot and grown so much! Never had a rabbit so don’t know if i’m doing it right? Thanks for any help!

  Sounds good to me. He is still growing so unlimited pellets like you are feeding and fresh greens is perfect. Around 6 to 7 months then you will want to start measuring them out and gradually reducing them and maybe increase greens at that time.
