I want to make sure that I am feeding my bunnies the correct amount of veggies and pellets I find a lot of guides that recommend amounts served in cups and including variety but I’m not fully clear on exactly what that means. Referring to a cup size feels pretty vague. I recently had my bunnies weighed when they were spayed/neutered and all was fine however I know that as they get older and especially post neuter/spay they can put weight on more easily. I’m looking for a more precise example guide to exactly what you would give a small-medium sized rabbit over 6 months of age per day? As an example if you were going to feed cabbage one day would it be 1 leaf and how much of other things could be fed with it? I hope this makes sense I may not have explained it well! Thanks everyone!

When referencing a cup it literally means a cup. Like a 1 cup measure. 250ml.
And cabbage should not be fed due to the risk of gas.

Hi,
cabbage is ok in limited amounts, but it needs to be introduced really slowly (if your bunny isn't used to it), and be fed consistently.

Uhm, using english (or american, didn't know there's a difference) recipes is a chore for me, always need to convert cup, Tablespoon, Teaspoon, etc. to metric...

Thanks for the links I’ve always fed cabbage as the rescue centre we adopted them from fed cabbage and we continued it I then saw it appear on a bad list as causing gas and bloating but I’ve never had a problem in any of my four rabbits so I carried on. Every time I saw cup all I thought of was a drinking cup expect they come in all sizes which is why I didn’t understand the reference seems so obvious now haha
