This is what Tortelini looks like:
I don't know what breed it is. Does anyone else know?

Looks similar to a Rex or Beveren.

Thank you, not rex though. Maybe it will be more clear when she loses her baby coat. It would be nice to know in case someone asks what her babies are when they buy.

OHHHH MY GOSH! I finally found a treat that Parmesan likes. Actually, all three like it but it has taken me forever to get something he likes. It's this plant from my back yard called mallow. It gets devoured in seconds!

wait, so they don't need pellets? I feed oxbow pellets to my guinea pigs?

Why would any pet need pellets when those don't grow in nature.

As I mentioned, there are some that are okay for pets, but most of the time they're more expensive and harder to find. I just prefer natural food. It's so easy to get anyway.

@Ancient Frost
Oh yeah I heard mallow is popular with buns!! :0
Haven't found it where I live, but there are still lots of wild plants/flowers/trees that can be used quite well.

@Streak
Cutiepatootie!!

It depends on what for. Pets should be fine as long as you make sure they get ALL their nutrients. For meat, they don't grow fast enough without pellets. I feed mine pellets because they are for meat and when they weren't on pellets it took at least 15 weeks to get to market weight and by then, they are very chewy.

Got a new rabbit yesterday! She is from a coworkers friend. She's an English Angora (cut down though), about 1 year old, and she's white. Her name is Betty. lol The girl said she suffered from chronic ear infections and sent me with Vetericyn... but now that I have her and have looked in her ears, I am thinking she has ear mites. There are lots of gross scabs and buildup inside her ears. When I raised rabbits I had never dealt with mites, but I did deal with inner ear infections and head tilts. I started adding a mixture of honey, water and oil to her ears yesterday just to hold her over until I get her medicine...

She seems a little sassy, but nice, so far. I guess I can't blame her. I am sure her ears hurt... she also has sores on her hocks and toes from sitting in her pee. I went to the farm store and got some balm that worked for one of my old mini rex back in the day.

We have a long road ahead of us. lol

Edit:
Got her some proper medicine and her ears already look better. Shaking and scratching all the nasty gunk out.... I do not envy her.

[Ancient Frost]

Good for her! I'm glad I haven't had to deal with that so far.
