  How old is he? If he’s really young, then unlimited pellets and hay are recommended. You can introduce veggies one by one starting at 12 weeks. Banana is okay for a treat, but a tiny baby might get an upset tummy.

  He is 8 weeks old, I have given him unlimited hay, and a small bowl of pellets.
  I also tried him on the oak lettuce and he loves it, but i only gave him a small amount.

  At 8 weeks it’s unlimited hay, water, and pellets. With my baby rabbits I’d fill their bowl in the morning and again in the evening. They would run out in the afternoon, middle of the night and eat their hay (which is good).
  
  Lettuce is alright in small quantities if his mother ate it. If his mom was veggie free or you don’t know then I might hold off on veggies for a bit. Here’s some great diet info for bunnies of all ages:
