In fact, too many easily-digestible carbohydrates (starches and sugars) are bad for rabbit's intestines and do nothing to wear down their teeth. So hay is best, except alfalfa. Alfalfa contains too much calcium and can damage a bunny's kidneys over time.

The best diet for your bunny includes the following:

	All the timothy hay they want. Grazing outside is also okay, as long as you don't use herbicides or pesticides on your lawn.
	No more than 1/3 cup of pellets per day. While they're fortified with vitamins and help to balance your rabbit's diet, they are usually made with alfalfa (see above). The fibers have also been broken up and compressed, so they do little to keep a rabbit's teeth healthy.
	No more than 2 tablespoons of fruits or vegetables per day, as starches and sugars can make rabbits "burn" too hot.

As an added toothsome bonus, give him untreated fruit tree logs or twigs, and always provide fresh, clean water.
