The first time your bun is on the grass, it should be pretty nervous and may not want to be out there very long. I just took my bun out on the grass for the first time and he stayed in a very small area, just sniffing. Then, the day after the area he stayed in got bigger, and bigger, and bigger. Then, yesterday I had him on a little harness type thing, taking him to his pen, and he was pulling me all over the place! It was so cute! So, I would just let him get used to it, he may get used to it right away, or it may take a couple of days like it did for my bun. Good luck!
I guess it depends if they have ever had grass before? With babies I would do short bursts cos of their tums. Somebody a bit older whose tum is fine I'd prob say 45 min to an hour, depends on how much they eat the grass really!! Just keep an eye on poos and u will soon know!!
To be honest, I go by the individual and see how they go, I've never intentionally just kept them out there for a certain length of time, just need to watch them make sure they aren't gorging themselves!!

I don't know if this is 100%, but ith babies I usually leave them for about an hour the first time, gradually increasing this over a period of time in half to one hours. So far I have not had problems. Alice
maverick is 18 months old now, he only like th grass in the summer, he spreads right out. In the winter i have him indoors for about an hour just to get a run around. He like tos stay in the run for about 2 hours in the summer, if we are out there he will stay out there with us and be nosey

rabbits that are not used to grass can suffer gut problems if not used to it, the best thing for a rabbit thats is not used to it is small goes on the grass until they are used to it, my question was how long on the grass at the start?
