Hiya, im getting a 9 week old lionhead on Tuesday.

I feed my other 4 rabbits on Excel rabbit nuggets, but they also do food called 'Excel junior nuggets' too, and this is for baby bunnies that are 1 week old plus. Will my bunny have to eat that food or will she be ok to eat the normal adult food? Thanks :)
 
It depends on what the ingredients are. Young rabbits should have alfalfa based pellets while adults should have timothy based pellets. The other ingredients should be fairly similar. Alfalfa based pellets tend to have a bit more protein than timothy ones as well.
Check the bag or a website for the ingredient list and nutrition analysis (protein, fibre etc). See what is different and what is the same.
