To each their own.
I don't find anything in calf manna that justifies the high price tag. My does get black oil sunflower seeds, or pumpkin seeds, if I feel they need more oil or protein.
I give oats or root crops if I feel they need more carbs. (Calf manna has a lot of carbs.)

How much sunflower would I give, I'm feeding 18 percent Hubbard pellets and grass hay, all are young rabbits, I give the sunflower ,just a few for a treat, didn't want to mess them up, thanks

They really shouldn't need more than what you are already feeding then. Calf manna and other protein or oil supplements are sometimes given after a large litter, but are not usually necessary before breeding.
