Yeah, I thought I was overfeeding him. He's about 6-7 pounds, and I've been feeding him 1/4 a cup of pellets each time I fed him, instead of 1/4 a cup overall. Common mistake.
So If I were to divide 1/4 a cup by three (how many times a day I feed him), I should feed him 1/12 a cup three times a day, right?
Jeez... Do 1/12 cups even exist!?
Well, Google time!
...
Well, I'm not really finding anything. The only thing I found was this adjustable measuring cup that measured "2 tablespoons and under", and they had a bigger one that did up ti "1/2 a cup"
=/ So I doubt we have one.
I wonder if a liquid measuring cup would work...? We might have one of them with that measurment...
Thanks for the chart! It really helped. ^^
I love this forum. =D
Did you hear about that 12AnimalLover-something person who took in over 20 rabbits? Wow! I hope everything goes well over there. I might consiter taking in a rabbit if I wasn't, you know, 4 1/2 hours away... I know there ar epeople out there farther away, but that kind of traveling isn't an option, and I'd feel so selfsh asking someone to go out of their way to bring the rabbit to me...
Hm. =/

I'm guessing that he's not finishing his pellets because you're probably overfeeding him.
General Guidelines:
5-7 lbs: 1/4 cup
8-10 lbs: 1/2 cup
11-15 lbs: 3/4 cup
And if you wanted to separate that into feedings, you'd divvy out that amount
But if he's not overeating, it's probably not a HUGE deal.
