Here's why:
* High in calcium: Alfalfa is very high in calcium, which can cause bladder stones in young rabbits.
* Too rich: Alfalfa is a very rich forage, and young rabbits need a diet that is lower in calories and protein.
* Limited digestive system: Baby bunnies' digestive systems are still developing, and they can't handle the high fiber content of alfalfa.
What you should feed a 6-week-old bunny:
* Timothy hay: This is the most important part of a baby bunny's diet. It's low in calcium and provides essential fiber for healthy digestion.
* Fresh greens: Offer a small amount of leafy greens like romaine lettuce, cilantro, and parsley.
* Pellet food: A high-quality rabbit pellet food specifically formulated for babies can be given in small amounts.
Important note: Always consult with a veterinarian or a rabbit-savvy professional for specific advice on feeding your baby bunny. They can help you tailor the diet to your rabbit's age and individual needs.
