How much feed should i feed them??

[mistyjr]

Well, My small Doe is going to be show but the other Doe is for breeding.. How much pellets and alfalfa should I feed them?? They are 7 weeks and 11 weeks old??

And is there anything i should feed them or anything??

I've never actually had a young rabbit, but my understanding is that at that age they should be free feeding on pellets. Hay should always be available in unlimited quantities. Alfalfa hay is fine, but personally I'd offer some Timothy too, particularly if that's what you plan to switch them over to eventually.

In my city they dont sell Timothy, I just looked today at the farm store, It was hay or alfafa cude hay.

Use both, give them the hay, which is probably a mix of timothy and alfalfa(that's what I found in KY) and alfalfa cubes also to chew on. I just make sure I use a wider blade grass hay, the buns seem to like it more. My dutches go to a 5 oz a day pellet usually at 3 months of age, more if they need it with all the hay and the alfalfa cubes they have acess to.

okay, Thanks, I guess I do not need to take the alfalfa back to the store then..
