How many months/years does a baby rabbit become an adult rabbit?

I need to know to change from alfafa hay to timothy hay, thanks!How many months/years does a baby rabbit become an adult rabbit?
For most rabbits its about 6 to 7 months. at 6 months you may want to start mixing the two hays together, so by 7 months your bun will just be on timothy hay. At first my bun was not happy with his timothy hay but now he loves it, some buns may take a while to adjust and some will eat anything you put in front of them. Also pellet food, some people feed the young bunnies a pellet that is made for young buns, if you do it would be time to start switching as well. They can have other grasses too like orchard grass for example.How many months/years does a baby rabbit become an adult rabbit?
At 6 months a rabbit is fully mature. My breeder told me to only feed my rabbit timothy hay because they get all the alfalfa they need from their pellets (even as babies). Seeing as how your feeding alfalfa I would buy the timothy hay and mix it in the alfalfa and gradually increase the timothy hay and decrease the alfalfa until it's only timothy hay. Good luck!
