Bad veterinary advice. Part 3
7. Transition chart (alfalfa → grass hay, reduce pellets)
This is ideology, not evidence. There is no biological requirement to shift to grass hay dominance. The only required shift is from growth formulation → maintenance formulation. The hay emphasis is cultural, not scientific.
8. “¼ cup pellets per day for an average rabbit”
This is one of the worst offenders. Fixed volume feeding ignores body weight, metabolic rate, production status, and genetics. Intake should be based on grams per kg body weight and condition scoring, not a kitchen scoop.
