  Hello! I just had a question about transitioning my bunnies pellets. They are currently 2 and a half months old. Their diet consists of unlimited timothy hay, unlimited alfalfa based pellets, and mint and parsley salad a couple times a week. I was just wondering when I should start transitioning them into the oxbow timothy based pellets, I know you should start limiting their pellets once they are around 7 months to a year, but that leaves the question, when should I switch them to the timothy based pellets? Should I do it before I start limiting their pellets, or should I do it after? What would you recommend? Thanks!

  Hey Cookie and Cream! I would begin transitioning them when they’re 7 months old. I personally would begin limiting pellets a little bit after the switch is complete, but I guess when to begin limiting is left for you to figure out
