Pellets for 3 week old orphan bunny - how much?

Chii

Hi,

I'm fostering 3-3.5 weeks old orphaned baby bunny. He stopped drinking KMR formula ~2 days ago.
He's eating hay, drinking water and I give him Burgess Excel pellets. He can eat about 10g in 12 hours.
He's feeling well, binking, eating, drinking and pooping normally.

I think he could eat about 15-20g of Burgess Excel pellets per day, but I'm not sure if he should be given that much.
Should I give him only a specific amount of pellets, or give him as much as he wants?

Thank you in advance!
 
I think letting his appetite govern the amount is the best way but as long as they are putting weight on gradually then go with your gut.
