Our in-depth look
Who it's for
Baby and young rabbits up to about a year.
Who should skip it
Adult rabbits — alfalfa is too rich in calcium and calories; switch to a timothy-based adult food.
Tips
Young rabbits can have pellets freely plus unlimited grass hay. Switch gradually to an adult timothy food around 6–12 months.
Questions owners ask
When do I switch to adult food?
