Evening, I do pellets for breakfast and forage and veggies for tea - and I do the huge hay top up at night too as I have more timeI wonder when you feed your rabbits their veg and forage?
Is it once a day, or more than once? And morning or evening?

My buns get breakfast greens when I get up and a small top up of their pellets) and then evening nomms - greens and occasionally a handful of kale and very occasionally a few leaves of spinach and a few chunks of carrots, at about 7 or 8pm along with pellet top up. Hay is always there for them to have and they tend to forage when they are outside on what is left of the crispy baked lawn.

This made me giggle!
So I feed veg every evening when I do the final rounds. Some will also need water and hay. I never used to feed veg every day but certain neighbours started giving me bits and together with what I bought, it turned into a daily routine. Now they expect it!
On normal working days I give them veg and pellets in the morning, hay if needed, and then a smaller portion again in the evening. If I'm working from home or not at work I only give veg once a day at lunchtime to mix their routine up a bit. My vet once told me it's good to mix up the routine where possible as they know when to expect certain foods so they won't eat their hay in anticipation. For one of mine this led to dental issues. Doesn't surprise me that they work these things out, they're smarter than a lot of people give them credit for!
Well it possibly won't surprise people to know that feeding times are a bit disorganised here:lol:
They always get their small amount of pellets in the evening and a bunch of tree sticks/leaves to have overnight. Other than that they get a collection of garden forage early morning and more during the day, especially when I've been weeding It probably always amounts to the same quantity of forage/greens during a 24 hour period, but not at specific times.
8am breakfast - fresh forage
8am - 10am - litter change so fresh hay with dried forage mixed in
12 noon fresh forage
4pm -5.30 fresh forage
8pm fresh forage
11pm fresh forage
Midnight - nuggets & hay top up
Daytime grazers
I know it's natural in the wild for rabbits to graze on plants all day.
I suppose I prefer to monitor their green intake and make sure they eat plenty of hay.
Grass they have no trouble gobbling up at any time of day!
Is it more beneficial do people think to let rabbits graze on forage during the day, or restricted it to 'meal times'?
Usually seasonal and what's on the specials menu.[emoji38] Do they put the order in with their waiter the night before, or are they served 'seasonal veg'?
Your buns are all pellet free?
