Is it okay to feed my baby bunny (2months and 3weeks) Alfalfa Hay AND Alfalfa pellets? Or should i choose one source of Alfalfa (either in the pellets or hay), and one source of Timothy (either in the pellets or hay).

Yes it is absolutely ok to feed both, pellets and hay. Most likely the pellets will be better quality than the store-bought hay. If you can find a farmer who can sell you a bale or even just an armful of alfalfa hay or timothy hay, that would be best (around $ 10 -12 per 70lb bale....that would last you a very long time, would be better quality and much cheaper than the stuff you can buy at the store.
