Wow! Rabbits?

Free fed rabbits are often overweight. I allot my growing rabbits about 3/4 to 1 cup a day measured, and my adults I feed .75oz. to 1oz. quality pellets per pound of body weight or slightly less. I err on the side of less food because overweight rabbits have lots of health issues. I give a packed handful of timothy grass hay about 3-4 times a week.
 
also, be sure that you are feeding timothy hay, or at least grass hay. Alfalfa is too high in calcium and can lead to kidney issues and blockages, especially in rabbits who are prone to them. It is best to limit pellets as well if you see signs of crystals in the urine. You'll see sparkling patches in the hutch where they have peed.

Timothy or grass hay - free-feed 24/7
pellets - 1/2 cup or so every day. I split into 2 feedings.
veggies and greens - I try at least once a day but at a min every other day. About 1 cup for a small bunny. Again, be careful of veggies that are high in calcium and sugar as well as fruit. Give those occasionally sa treats
