7 wk old bunny/ hay

Question
I have a 7wk old dutch bunny eating and drinking fine, but he likes to eat timothy hay like 24/7 is this good for him to consume alot of hay? I know hay is an important part of their diet, but how much is to much? I have one of those cardboard guinea pig tubes cut in half and i fill with hay, and its gone by the next afternoon. He poops and urinates fine.

Answer
Dear Sharon,

A bunny really can't eat too much hay, especially when he's growing.  Keep up the good work by providing him with timothy hay that he can much 24/7, and you'll have a healthy bunny!  You can read more about a healthy diet here:
