I didn't feed mine pellets either. I know miss.hoppy doesnt eat them either.
As long as they get lots of fresh veggies and hay they are fine.
Pellets are un nessicary and just make them fat.

A rabbits diet should consist of 80% hay 10% veggies and 10% pellets.

No actually, pellets are just compacted alfalpha which isn't supposed to be fed to adult rabbits.
Pellets were made back in the day for rabbits meat farmers because they didnt feed them veggies and hay so it was faster to just feed them pellets. Plus they wanted fat rabbits which is what alfalpha does.
Pellets have no real nutrition.
Where did you hear that statement from?

I have owned rabbits for several years and have learned that from many rabbit message boards and websites. Not all pellets are just hay. Mine has other stuff in it to. My rabbit isn't fat at all.

Pellets can be made from timmy hay, too.

Piper gets timmy hay (sometimes mixed with coastal or another grass hay), Zupreem pellets, veggies (primarily cilantro - his fav), and limited fruits.
