How much food does a rabbit need?
Once ounce of food per pound of body weight is the norm. However, rabbits have very unique metabolic systems. Some dwarf breeds require 4 ounces per day, and some require only 1.5 ounces or less. The required amount should be deduced by starting at one ounce of food per pound of body weight and weight and condition should be monitored on a weekly basis. If the rabbit feels thin or too fat, increase or decrease the quantity accordingly. Younger rabbits generally require more food per pound of body weight than adult rabbits.
