food amounts

[sheandg]

I was wondering if their is a chart somewhere that tells you how much to feed a certain sized rabbit so they don't get overweight. All my rabbits are under 5 months so some are still growing a fair amount do you just let them eat as much as they want when growing? I have a lionhead doe that is 20 weeks now and she is going to push her weight limit so I really need to keep her fit.

my other breeds are french lops and fuzzy lops

Pretty much my rule of thumb is 1/4 cup of pellets when they're fully grown with unlimited hay and unlimited pellets when they're still growing.

I free feed until they are about 4 months old, after that I feed anywhere from a 1/4 to 1 cup pellet feed (depending on size and condition- if a bunny loses weight- feed more- if they start to gain too much, reduce feed- each rabbit is different and you have to find the amount that works for you bunny). I also offer hay daily and they get fresh greens when available.

I do 1/4 cup for every 4 pounds.. but theres usually some left over.
