My rabbits are all 10 to 14 weeks old. They're still growing but I fear I'm feeding them too much. I have Timothy Hay and pellets from Tractor Supply. How much of each do they need?

They need to have food available constantly. They should never run out, or they can go into gi stasis, and that can end in death, rather quickly.

For young growing bunnies up to six to eight months old (depends on the size of the breed as to how long it takes them to get to adult size) we will usually let them eat as much as they want of both pellets and hay/forage.  Once they become adults, then their pellet intake is monitored although they have as much hay or forage as they want.

Usually you can tell if your rabbit is being properly fed by feeling his condition.  If you can easily feel the backbone, especially a bumpy backbone with hardly any flesh over the ribs, then he needs more food.  If the bunny has flesh on the backbone and over the ribs and isn't fat, then he's being fed enough.

For a breeding doe, we feed them as much as they want.  For a doe feeding a litter, as much as she wants with additional higher nutritional food such as high protein bunny pellets mixed with Black Oil Sunflower seeds, rolled oats or barley.  Maybe a bit of calf manna.
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://stoves2.com
