I'm not sure about the pellets, but I'd saymaybe two cups of vegetables? I've read adults over 1 year should haveatleast a cup of vegetables a day. My 2.4 pound netherland gets a cupof veggies. As long as they have lots of hay thats good .

I have two 4 1/2 pound bunnies that livetogether (mother-son pair). Each bunny gets about 1/4 cup of pelletsper day. They share pellets from the same bowl, so 1/4 cup is given inthe morning for them to share, and they get another quarter cup toshare in the afternoon. They do a good job of keeping their pelletintake even. We also give them unlimited hay and water and about 2 cupsof veggies to share every night.
