Expert Answer

A rabbit’s intake depends on weight; a normal adult eats about 400-500g of feed per day, roughly 3-5% of its body weight, fed in small frequent meals to avoid indigestion. Baby rabbits need about 4 feedings a day, every 6 hours; after adulthood, twice a day is enough.

Keep fixed times and amounts to build good eating habits and faster digestion. Besides feed, offer small amounts of fruit and vegetables like celery, carrot, and apple, but wash and dry them first to avoid diarrhea.
