I surpose it wouldn't hurt, because after all there diet should be mainly hay/grass. But I think I'd still provide pellets and veg.

i never heard of it either and was a bit miffed....thats why i asked, thought it sounded funny! winnie has her pellets and veg in morning and pellets in the evening with constant hay
some places give bad advice i'm glad i found this place!!

I know that Burns have launched their food range which (correct me if I am wrong) is designed to be fed as it is...just hay, grasses and herbs, with the veggies
Jasmine gets a small handful of pellets 2x per day, loads of hay and dry grass, then mixed veggies and fruit in the evening

Ive looked into hay only diets and tried it with Ivor, it seemed to have a really good effect on his poos and he lost alot of his christmas weight.
I would have kept it up but Anna came along and she is very thin-whatever Anna eats Ivor eats, having them on different diets and living together is impossible.
In nature rabbits rely on grass but they would sometimes find some nice veggies, I would say 95% hay 4.5% veg and .5% pellets is a good diet, most people would recommend a much higher level of fresh veggies.

Ours have a small handful of pellets in the morning and evening, they always have timothy hay avaliable.
We haven't introduced vegetables yet as they were young when we first got them, am hoping to start introducing it soon

how old are they now?
around 4 months, we don't have an exact age as they were adopted from pets at home (please don't hate me for that, lol)
hey i certainly wouldnt hate anyone
you can introduce them to veggies now!. Small amount at first and also small amount when you introduce a new one. Mine love savoy cabbage, kale and carrots the best with a sprinkle of fresh parsley!!!!
