Again, the same pellets as most other rabbits have.
Science Selective / Excel etc - when you get him/her - you need to ensure he/she is on the same pelleted feed as he/she was on in his/her original home.

For at least the first two weeks you have your rabbit you need to feed whatever food he has been used to in his previous home only then, if he remains well, should you consider making any adjustments.
Personally I feed science selective pellets but as the pellet ration should only amount to an eggcup full a day it isn't too important what pellet you use although of course a high fibre one is best.

I have Macie (a mini lop) on Burgess Excel Adult, she only has about a tablespoon a day. Some rabbits don't get on well with Burgess Excel but I've had no problems whatsoever with Macie, it's all down to the individal rabbit. Other than that her diet consists of mainly hay, hay and yet more hay. In the evenings she also has a handful of veg. As others have said make sure you introduce all new foods slowly.
Good luck with your new bunny

So gorgeous! I have two mini lops and they are feed on the same as the rest of the rabbits. A mix of Science Selective, Rabbit Royale, hedgerow herbs which is for horses but the buns enjoy them, and dried forage like tenderloin, meadow herbs and plantain from zooplus. The more natural ingredients you can include in their diet the better.
