A healthy adult bunny shouldn t need more than about a quarter cup of pellets per day. They get everything else they need from the hay and vegetables mentioned above. There are a few important things to look for when choosing a pelleted food for your bunny. First, when buying from a store, always check the expiration date on the bag. If there isn t one, don t buy it.
Some stores have very slow turnover of bunny pellets and the food can sit too long on the shelves.
Second, look at the ingredients. Bunnies are vegetarians, so things like animal fat and animal protein are probably not the best choices for a healthy bunny diet. Finally, compare lables and look at things like calcium content and protein content. The lower the better. Pellets can also be purchased on-line through various retailers.
