Best Answer

Rabbits pretty much eat a lot of food every day:

  • Hay -- unlimited amounts, 24/7 access: lots and lots of it!
  • Fresh leafy greens -- between 1 and 3 cups for a 6 pound rabbit
  • Pellets (rabbit food) -- between a quarter and half a cup for a 6 pound rabbit
  • Fruits and veggies (aside from leafy greens) -- optional, treat foods, a very small amount, no more than 2 tablespoons for a 6 pound rabbit

Always feed your rabbit what he or she can eat a day.

A rabbit eats an amount of food a day depending on how much it weighs. If the rabbit ways under 5 pounds then it eats 1/4 cup of food a day. Anything over that weight then they can eat 1/2 cup of food a day. This is if they are over 6 months old if they are younger than that they can have an ultimate amount of pellet food. Hay should also be fed 24/7. You should not feed any straight alfalfa hay ( It is to high in fiber for rabbits.)

How many times do rabbits eat in a day?

Baby rabbits eat unlimited amounts of food. How much they eat depends on how much they're growing and how much they're moving around; this can also be affected by the weather, stressful conditions, and other factors. When babies are starting to wean, they should have unlimited access to hay and pellets. Between 7 and 13 months, rabbits should slowly transition to adult portions for pellets; hay should stay unlimited, as all rabbits need to eat lots and lots of hay everyday. Dark leafy greens can very slowly be introduced at about 12 weeks, and fresh fruit and veg can be introduced (gradually!) at about 6 months. See the related questions for more info.


What do snow rabbits eat?

Snowpeas are safe for rabbits to eat and many rabbits like them, but they shouldn't eat too much at a time. Rabbits should eat some "salad" every day that consists of certain dark, leafy greens and vegetables. Owners should serve a variety of greens from a wide rotation, but new foods should always be introduced gradually as sudden changes in a rabbit's diet (even changes for the better) can lead to illness. See the related question below for more details.
