Alright here is the thing. My bunny has decided she does not like pellets of any kind. The type of food I give her is the Sunburst brand which contains pellets, oats, various dried veg and fruit as well as alfalfa and hay and some seeds such as pumpkin, I can give a more detailed list if need be. She digs through it all picking out everything and leaves the pellets. So I was wondering if it is possible to feed a bunny a complete diet without pellets and if so how would I do that? :dunno:
 
She is picking out the pellets becasue she can. She fills up on the other stuff and then you add more food. She never has to eat the pellets.
Those mixes are just junk and are not good for rabbits. You can pick out the pellets and only feed those, but it is better to just switch to a plain pellet.
If you go slowly, you can switch her right away. Stop giving the old stuff and start on a healthy plain pellet. She might not eat it, but as long as she has hay and veggies, she should be fine for a few days. Very few rabbits will refuse to eat any pellets.
 
You should never feed a brand of food that has colorful bits in it, they are very unhealthy for your rabbit and and the colorful bits are like a treat. Good brands to feed are kent, purina ,manno pro ect. usually a good feed does not come in less than a 25lbs bag.

You should switch her over to a plain pellet those are better for her. Slowly switch her over and to help encourage her to eat sprinkle a little of oats at the bottom of her dish, that will encourage her to eat her pellets and she gets a little reward for eating them. :)
