To get your rabbit used to eating grass offer small amounts to start with. Grass can cause digestive upsets in rabbits that are not use to it, in the wild baby rabbits would start eating grass at 3 weeks of age and domesticated rabbits are brought up on hay and rabbit mix. Remember to always pull the grass up, and never feed grass clippings as these can cause fermentation in the guts.
As a rabbit reaches maturity, however, pellets should make up less of the diet replaced with higher quantities of hay and vegetables. Overfeeding pellets in mature rabbits can lead to obesity and other medical conditions. Hay: Rabbits should have fresh hay available 24 hours a day. Rabbits less than 7 months old may have alfalfa hay, but older rabbits should have grass hays such as timothy or oat hay. Hay is essential to a rabbit's good health, providing the roughage that helps reduce the danger of hairballs and other blockages.
