You should feed unlimited food for the first year of life, and then after that, 1/2 a cup for every 2.5kgs of OPTIMUM body weight

At her age she should have unlimited pellets. No matter her age she should have unlimited timothy hay. The breeder I got my rabbit from said no alfalfa because they get all the alfalfa they need from their pellets (even if they are babies). At 6 months your suppose to limit their pellets based on their weight. Here’s a good website that explains quantities of pellet food for rabbits based on weight and breed.http://www.geocities.com/mnd_rabbitry/Ca…
Good luck! : )

At her age, she should have access to unlimited rabbit pellets (alfalfa based for young rabbits) and unlimited alfalfa hay. If you haven’t already, you should also begin introducing vegetables – one at a time in very small amounts (1/2 ounce at a time each day).
As your rabbit gets older, about 7 months old, then you should decrease the alfalfa hay and alfalfa based pellets and slowly switch it to timothy hay and timothy based pellets (like half and half for a few weeks). At this age, she will need you to ration her pellets to 1/2 cup per 6 lbs. of body weight. You can also gradually increase the vegetables. She will always need unlimited hay.
And when your rabbit is an adult at 1 year old, you should feed her about 1/4 – 1/2 cup pellets per 6 lbs. body weight every day. She should also get 2 cups of vegetables per 6 lbs. body weight. And as always, unlimited hay. She can also eat small amounts of fruit (no more than 2 tablespoons per 6 lbs. body weight per day).
Good luck with your rabbit!
