I'd start a young one on timmy hay first, and gradually add the veggies...and not a lot, very small handful.

Hay should be the mainstay of the diet and always available, then veggies, and finally 1-2 TBLS of timothy hay-based pellets for an adult rabbit . The amount of pellets depends on its weight---5 lb bun gets 2 TBLS of pellets and only if you cannot bring yourself NOT to give your bun pellets. Also depending on weight an adult bunny should average 1 cup of veggies twice a day. Since it's impossible to measure 1 cup veggies I sort of do mine by the handful. AND since mine do not get any pellets, I double the 1 cup to 2 cups of veggies, but mine are all grown up and are 4-8 years old.

Again, I would check the nutrition link at www.rabbit.org
