too much alfafa for a young bunny

[jap08m]

I give Reddit a very generous supply of the alfafa every day and throughout the day, but she always seems to run out. Before I switched to the alfafa I was using timothy hay and she would just nibble a little bit on it. She's only 2 months old, should I be limiting her alfafa intake? Or maybe mix in the timothy hay, I heard alfafa can lead to organ problems

Alfalfa is good for growing bunnies and she can have as much as she wants! You only need to switch over to timothy (or other) hay when she's mature (between 4-7 months). Bunnies should always have plenty of hay available so their digestive systems keep working properly.

Timothy hay is fine, and needed, at any age. Alfalfa is for young buns. Some people never give alfalfa hay to young buns and wean right to timothy jay. Any switch in diet should be done gradually and over time, but otherwise alfalfa for babies is fine.

Our vet says no limit on alfalfa or pellets til they are six months and done growing.
