Rabbits diet

Question
Hi I was just wondering if you could check the diet of my rabbit. So she is a mini rex rabbit and is about 2 years old. In the morning she gets a medium sized carrot and a big hand full of timothy hay in her bowl At night she gets a regular hand full of pellets. ( they're like those nibbler things that has lots of nutrition) She constanly has water and a salt wheel.

Answer
Dear Victor,

That's an awful lot of carrot and not enough fresh greens.  For an overview of a good, balanced rabbit diet, please see:

If the pellets have anything but green pellets in them, then they are not good for your bunny.  The article above explains why.

Hope this helps.
