  You can (and should) introduce timothy hay now. Has she never had any hay? A bunny certainly should eat hay before she’s a year old =) Hay is very important for a bunny. Pet shop staff often don’t know very much about the animals they sell.
  
  You can keep her on the same kind and amount of pellets until she’s about 6 months old. Young bunnies need more protein than adult bunnies and young-rabbit-food is richer than adult food. You can also give some alfalfa hay until she’s about 6 months old.
  
  If you introduce hay now, you can wait a couple of weeks more with introducing fresh vegs. Normally 12 weeks is the time when you start introducing fresh greens, but a bunny should never get too much new food all at once, so I think you can do hay first and then greens.
