          Make sure you add hay into that. Rabbits need timothy hay more than anything to keep their digestive tracks running smoothly, as well as helping them grind their teeth down with it. Youll want about 80% hay, 15% greens (kale, cilantro, carrot tops, ect), 4% pellets, and 1% treats for your bunnys diet

            Here is a link to a good article about veggies and fruits. It tells which ones can be fed every day (leafy greens II) and which ones should be limited (leafy greens I). http://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables-and-fruits-for-a-rabbit-diet/.

            Here is another article with suggested veggies, that is very similar: https://binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/VeggieList/tabid/144/Default.aspx.

            It is recommended that you wait until a rabbit is 12 weeks old before you slowly start introducing greens and veggies – one at a time for several days or a week, then gradually add other one by one.

            Your routine sounds fine, but as Mikey said, your rabbits must have hay available to them at all times. Plus a fresh bowl of water.

                We feed our two Flemish rabbits with a high veggie diet.  They are 8 months old and have big appetites.  Vegetable main stays are carrot tops, fennel tops, dill which we get free from the farmer’s market.   We buy stuff from grocery stores, particularly romaine lettuce.  We might buy 12 heads of romaine at a time!  Also cilantro, salad dandelion leaves, bok choi. Since they eat a lot of veggies, they don’t drink very much water.  They chew a lot of oat hay.  Oat hay lines their litter boxes and they’ll sit in their litter boxes chomping on hay.  We have bowls of pellets available any time they want, but I try to buy pellets that don’t have molasses or sugars in them.  Treats are favorites and they are good to force the rabbits to socialize with us…from time to time they’ll approach us for a treat.  Fuji apples from farmer’s market…some reason they don’t like grocery store apples, bananas….they like them a little tart so  the skins have to have green in them.  Their food bill is quite a few dollars a week…probably $15 a week for hay.
