​bunny diet
 what should I feed my bunny?
     
​Our bunnies are given a fresh clean supply of filtered water. We feed our bunnies Modesto Milling Organic Rabbit Feed. Our bunnies receive unlimited amounts of Timothy Hay, Orchard Grass, & or Meadow Hay. We also feed our adult bunnies 1 cup of leafy greens (bunny safe fresh or dried veggies & a tiny treat size piece of fruit) daily. 

* bunnies should always have access to fresh clean WATER at all times

* bunnies should always have an unlimited supply of Timothy Hay or Orchard Grass

* bunnies 8 weeks - 6 months should have unlimited amount of pellets

* bunnies 6 months or older should have 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of pellets per day and 1 cup of leafy greens & a tiny treat       
   size slice of fruit

* bunnies younger than 6 months should only be fed pellets and hay
   NO LEAFY GREENS OR FRUITS FOR BABY BUNNIES!

* bunnies 6 months or older should have about 1/2 a cup of leafy greens in addition to 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of pellets daily as well as     
​   unlimited hay
   
* ONCE YOUR BUNNY IS 6 MONTHS OLD YOU MAY SLOWLY BEGIN TO ADD LEAFY GREENS TO THEIR DIET.
   
* ADD ONLY ONE NEW LEAFY GREEN AT A TIME.
 
* ALWAYS INTRODUCE NEW LEAFY GREENS ONE AT A TIME IN SMALL AMOUNTS AND SLOWLY ALLOW YOUR                    BUNNY TO WORK UP TO 1/2 CUP DAILY
​ 
* ONCE YOU SEE YOUR BUNNY IS DOING WELL WITH THE NEW LEAFY GREEN YOU MAY BEGIN TO ADD ANOTHER     LEAFY GREEN TO THEIR DIET ect.

* FRUITS SHOULD ALWAYS BE GIVEN SPARINGLY AND IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS 
​   (tiny treat size slices or pieces)
​

                                                                        

​
what we feed our bunnies & what we recommend
​We use both Water Bottles & Water Bowls for all of our bunnies so that the buns are used to using both in case their new bunny family chooses to use only a Water Bottle or a Water Bowl they will know how to drink from them both.


​housing

 ​Our bunnies live in very spacious solid floor enclosures! Our bunnies are given daily free time to roam & explore around the house all while being supervised for the health & safety of our bunnies of course! ​Please, note that our home has been bunny proofed for the health & safety of our bunnies. If you have not bunny proofed your home you will need to acquire an ex-pen or puppy playpen for your bunny to play in safely!
