Answer
Dear Tegz,

Here's an overview of a healthy rabbit diet:

www.bio.miami.edu/hare/diet.html

If your bunny is a baby, he can have unlimited pellets (no corn or nuts or dried fruit in them!  That's junk food!) until he's grown.  He should always have an *overload* of fresh grass hay, so that he always has something to nibble, even when his pellets run out.  Hay is the most important item in the diet, and he should *always* have a lot available, very fresh and clean and never wet or moldy.

Read the article above for more details.

Good luck!
