What to feed your rabbits
Your rabbits should have all the pellets and hay they can eat until they are 6 months or so. Do NOT feed your rabbits anything green until they are 12 weeks old. If you give them greens to early it could give them a bad stomachache or kill them.

decrease alfalfa hay; start feeding grass hay
gradually increase the amount of veggies
1-5 years unlimited grass hay
1/4-1/2 cup pellet per 6 pounds. New Zealands should have about 3/4 cup.

In the nest box:
You can have 3 types of nest boxes: wood, wire and metal. Wood is a bad choice because it soaks stuff up. it`s better to use wire or metal. We usually line the nest box with a thick layer of wood shavings, lots of straw or hay, shredded newspaper. NEVER FEED YOUR BUNNY KITTEN MILK REPLACER FOR CATS IT COULD KILL THEM.
