I have a question about pellet amounts with respect to feeding a regular sized rabbit and a giant breed rabbit.

With my trios, each trio gets fed one fistful of pellets in the evening, I spread it around with some ready grass so they can forage and each gets a fair chance of getting their nuggies.

Tilly has 2 or 3 fistfulls a day as she is a baby and supposed to have unlimited pellets although I am not comfortable with giving unlimited pellets as I feel it affects her hay consumption. Anyway, when I find a husbun for her, he will be a standard sized bun so will need less than her so how would you go about feeding buns different amounts? The husbun will hopefully be the same age so they will both get breeder and grower pellets and then can change to regular pellets when one year old plus they can both have alfalfa hay (if Tilly will share it, she goes loopy for it Laughing )

I wondered what other peoples experiences were.

From what I have read, you can put the one out and give the other a 'snack' of pellets. But I don't have any experience yet in this area. It's a good question and I want to see other's answers.

I think if you scatterfeed, then there is a chance that they will both get a fair amount. If you put them into bowls with a pair, there is the chance that one will eat more.
