Is this a good diet?

[BunzMom]

Hi guys 

So, Just yesterday I am slowly changing my rabbits diet!

So every day she gets: (at the minute) 2 scoops of old food and 1 of new food (Im transitioning)

4-6 greens from outside (I check to make sure no bugs have bitten or is on it)

Sometimes vegetables (Snow Peas, A little broccoli, Carrots) 

2 handfuls of hay in the morning and afternoon IF Needed (4 handfuls per day which usually leaves to unlimited Hay)

And clean water. 

Is that a good diet? Is it too much? Is it too little? 

Open to all answers

Hay should be unlimited. When you say greens from outside, what do you mean specifically? Broccoli is a non leafy green and should be given in smaller quantities than leafy greens. Carrots should be given in moderation as they are high in sugar.

Greens as in dandelions (the green one)

Ah okay, dandelions are great!

The flower and stalk of the dandelion are great too!

Well, diet is really dependent on bun’s age and weight (and whether that weight is a healthy one). I generally feed Chewie according to recommended guidelines (check out the Bunny Info tab above to navigate to Food/Diet).
