In other words, what is ambient temperature? Background/Examples The interesting thing is that while it is a very common term, there seem to be different assumptions on what âambient temperatureâ really means.
Alfalfa (Lucerne), is actually neither hay nor grass! It is in fact a legume and is also grown as a richer type of animal feed. Alfalfa hay has a much higher protein level than grass / hay, which makes it very fattening to feed as a main ingredient for an average adult rabbit.
Do not purchase more than 6 weeks worth of feed at a time, as it will become spoiled. Pellets should make up less of a rabbitâs diet as he or she grows older, and hay should be available 24 hours a day. Alfalfa pellets are fine for younger rabbits but timothy pellets are preferred for older rabbits.
