It's important to remember that rabbits are not only vegitarians but scrouge for their food and need lots of fiber in their diet. First feed them as much grass hay (such as timothy, orchard or oat grass) as they want. Not alfalfa hay, except in small qualitities as treats, though immature rabbits can have free choice alfalfa while they're growing.

Rabbit pellets should be based on grass hay too, with high fiber.

Treats should be mostly green, leafy veggies. You can get details at the House Rabbit Society. Like Bugs Bunny, rabbits LOVE carrots, but should not eat too many. They're sweet, more like a fruit. But cereal, crackers, pretzels, cookies, Doritos and other "people" snacks are not appropriate for rabbits. Too rich or too sweet. Or both.
