Please look at http://www.rabbit.org





They have a list of foods good for rabbits, health info... everything. If your bunny is less than 6 months old he should only be eating pellets. After that you can slowly introduce fresh foods. Romaine lettuce is good for them - any DARK leafy greens are fine. Nothing light like iceberg lettuce. Carrots should also be limited to about a one inch piece every day or every other day - carrots have lots of sugar and aren't that good for them - they are considered a treat.





Have an unlimited amount of timothy hay available - alfalfa hay can be given if less than 6 months but not after as it has a lot of fat in it and you'll have an overweight rabbit if you keep feeding it that. Hay helps their gut move and keeps their teeth ground down.





Please do your research... rabbits can be complicated and their digestive tracks can have big problems if not taken care of properly.





Edit: since its wild I would suggest bringing it to a wildlife rescue shelter - they can better guess the age and be able to take care of itWhat should i feed a rabbit?
Do NOT feed rabbit 'mix' food with fruit and cereal chunks in it. It is probably the worst thing you could ever offer your rabbit to eat.





Also, if your rabbit is as small as you say it is, it is probably too young to be eating vegetables. Here are a few feeding guidelines.





Under three months he should be eating nothing but unlimited alfalfa pellets and unlimited alfalfa hay.





Over three months he should be eating the same thing as under three months, but slowly add in vegetables to his diet, one at a time. Something like romaine lettuce only for three-four days. You will typically see some wet poo while first introducing a vegetable, this should go away after three days or so, if it does not, do not offer this vegetable again. Do not feed light coloured lettuce like iceberg.





Over seven months it's time to cut back on the pellets and swap to timothy pellets. Still unlimited hay, but again, time to swap in grass hays. Things like timothy, brome, bluegrass, oat, orchard. Your rabbit should be eating three different vegetables daily by now.





By nine months your rabbit should be eating something like this: 1/8 of a cup of pellets per five pounds, 1-2 cups of vegetables, unlimited grass hay and every so often 1 tablespoon of fruit as a treat. Carrots are a 'treat' food, as they are high in sugar.
Don't keep giving him lettuce. It's bad for their stomachs.


At any decent pet store, you can get rabbit mix, which is mainly green with different coloured bits in it- my rabbits love it. You can also get Excel diet food, for when they get a bit chubby. They will appreciate fresh hay, carrots, and cabbage. Suprisingly, they love corn flakes too, and apples.


If you're unsure, talk to your vet, but please stop with the lettuce- it's bad for your rabbit's stomach.

For pellets, feed oxbow or kleenmamas.
they sell baby rabbit food at the pet store if that helps :).
