Ok, so...

What does everyone feed their rabbits daily? I'm curious to see what everyone feeds, and I imagine so are a lot of other people, so it would be nice to have somewhere to refer to (apologies if this has been done before)

Oscar gets:
Breakfast- A eggcup full of Excel pellets (about 25g), handfed and in his treats ball
Tea- Veggies! Today's was 1 and a half leaves of cabbage, 3 florets of broccoli, about an inch of carrot and a small amount of diced celery to try
All day- Hay. At the moment it's Willow Warren hay and Excel's forage. Probably eats 4-5 handfuls of hay a day
Treats-Handfed by us throughout the day. No more than a small pinch of apple and carrot chunks, a sprinkling of dried herds on his litter tray and in his bedding, and a fenugreek crunchie.

What do yours eat?
 
Two meals of 5g of SS pellets (slowly introducing Oxbow Bunny Basics too, so each meal will be 60% BB and 40% SS). Rest of the time, they have unlimited farm/meadow hay, with several handfuls of timothy hay throughout the day.
 
Per bunny...

Morning: 1/2 eggcup of Science Selective; biiiiiiiiig handfull of meadow hay

Dinner time: Small handful of dried forage; handful of fresh herbs (sometimes some spring greens in this but am starting to do more herbs and less greens)

Evening: 1/2 eggcup of SS again; more hay; one Fenugreek Crunchie sometimes.
 
Currently...for the winter

1 or 2 handfuls of pellets - I have small hands.

A combination of broccoli,carrot, apple and cucumber as I've run out of herbs which normally feed and a spring green cabbage.- I just feed a handful between each pair now.

I feed meadow hay- unlimited- they are bedded down on this and i feed a slice out of a bale of meadow hay per evening between 14.
