This is an excellent diet, however, it should not make up the main part of Apollo's diet. Ideally, he should be eating as much timothy hay, oat hay or similar grasses as he wants. He can eat alfalfa until he is about 6-7 months old then it should not be fed. He can get about 1/8 cup of commercial pellets (DuMor or any other brand) daily and a cup or two of fresh, chopped greens and vegetables daily.

Toys, the radio or tv, can all assist with boredom. Setting up foraging toys so birds need to spend time looking for food. 2. There is no such thing as too big a cage. 3. Heating rocks are rarely approved for use, as they will eventually become faulty and get too hot, potentially damaging the animal. A heat lamp is recommended. 4. The bunny's litter box should be spot cleaned daily and full clean weekly. If you can smell it you waited too long. Good luck.

Discontinue feeding milk and egg yolks to Yuki. These are not appropriate foods for a rabbit. Stop the colic-aid as well. This may interfere with her gut. Rabbits require a high fiber diet to maintain gut health. Feed as much timothy hay or similar grasses as she wants to eat. She can eat alfalfa until she is about 7 months old. Offer a commercial pelleted diet as well. You can moisten it to make it easier for her to eat. Have her examined by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating rabbits to diagnose illness or injury. If she is dehydrated, she may need supportive care to get her eating and acting normally.
