How much hay, pellets, and fresh food should I feed my bunny?

Question

How often are you supposed to feed bunnies? I am feeding Plain pellet brand I forgot name mixed with a brand that’s high quality (not a junk filler fake veggies n fruits) fruit n veggie pellet blend. I feed at night and it recommended on the veggie one two cups for large breed and 1 cup for small(other bunny is small) how much hay should they have? On the bag for the pellets say unnecessary but I read bunnies ex angoras need the fiber n for their fur. Anything on nutrition bunny would be great.

It's correct that fiber is very important for rabbits. This is because they have a digestive system that is made for a high-fiber diet and can get a great deal of nutrients from fiber. For this reason, it's actually best to feed a pelleted diet that is high in fiber like Oxbow. Fruits and vegetables should be considered treats and limited and no more than 10% of their diet. High quality hay (timothy or brome are good choices) should be offered all the time. Grass and dark leafy greens should also be offered regularly. There is a lot of information about how to feed a rabbit out there and it can be difficult to know what's correct and what's not. Below is a link to a some good information that should answer all of your questions. I hope that helps and all is well with your bunnies.
