Confused about how much food!

:wave: Was just wondering which 'guidelines' to follow. On the back of the wagg pellet food it says to feed an adult rabbit 130-150g per day.Is this right as some people say that you are only meant to feed a small amount and give them plenty of hay.
My Rabbit gets plenty of hay but he will eat a bowl of pellets too.
Also are te pellets better than the bunny brunch??
 
Pet food manufacturers often put large guideline amounts on the packets so that they sell more of the food. I would say 50g of pellets is enough for an adult medium sized rabbit depending on what other things they get to eat. My rabbits get about 25g of pellets each and are fine with this, they get a bowl of veg as well though.

Pellets are better than mix, they are higher in fibre and the rabbit can't just pick out the bits they like best :).
