But for pellets, you must change gradually yes. Cannot change the brand of food suddenly, it may cause diarrhoea, especially in young rabbits. And if left untreated, the condition is fatal.

Do it very gradually...
For eg, if you use scoops, the ratio would be this :
First week: 1 old, 3 new
Second week : 2 old, 2 new
Third week: 3 old,1 new
Fourth week: All new.
During this week, make sure that u observe their poo for any changes etc
