Set up a simple hay-and-pellet routine with the 2nd Cut Timothy + Rabbit Food Pellets bundle. Follow these steps to portion, transition, and adjust for your rabbit.

Quick answer

Use the 2nd Cut Timothy + Rabbit Food Pellets bundle as a paired routine: offer free-choice Timothy hay every day and measure the fortified rabbit pellets as the concentrated part of the diet. Start with a slow transition and adjust amounts based on your rabbit's age, weight, and response.

Why hay and pellets work as a pair

Timothy hay gives rabbits long-stem fiber that supports digestion and natural chewing, while the fortified pellets in this bundle add a consistent mix of vitamins and minerals. The bundle format removes the guesswork of buying hay and pellets separately, but it does not set the portion for you. Your rabbit's age and body condition still decide how much pellet to offer.

When to slow down or ask your vet

A sudden switch between pellet types can upset a rabbit's digestive tract, so plan the transition over one to two weeks. If your rabbit is very young, pregnant, nursing, or under veterinary care for a health condition, confirm the pellet portion with your veterinarian before changing the routine. The bundle's catalog does not list a feeding chart by weight or age, so treat any starting amount as a checkpoint to adjust rather than a fixed rule.

Your bundle setup steps

Check the hay and pellet condition: Open the bundle and inspect the Timothy hay for freshness and the pellets for any moisture or clumping. Store both in a cool, dry place and keep the hay ventilated rather than sealed in a damp container. If the hay smells musty or the pellets look damp, do not feed them.
Set a daily hay baseline: Offer free-choice 2nd Cutting Timothy hay and refill it at least once a day. Most of the diet should come from hay, so use the hay rack or pile as the first thing you check each morning. A rabbit that stops eating hay is a more urgent signal than a rabbit that leaves pellets.
Measure the pellet starting portion: Use a consistent measuring scoop rather than topping off the bowl. Because the bundle does not include a weight-based feeding chart, start with a modest measured amount and treat it as a baseline to review with your vet or adjust over the first week. Write down the amount you start with so you can compare it to your rabbit's body condition later.
Transition the pellets gradually: If your rabbit is switching from another pellet, mix a small amount of the new pellet with the old one and increase the new share over one to two weeks. Keep hay available at all times during the switch. Slow down the transition if you see loose droppings or a drop in hay intake.
Review and adjust weekly: Check your rabbit's body condition, hay consumption, and pellet interest each week. Increase hay access if pellets are being eaten first, and revisit the pellet amount if your rabbit is gaining or losing weight unexpectedly. A routine that works at one age may need a different pellet portion as your rabbit matures.
