Since the rabbit is growing it needs more protein than a rabbit that is grown. Wide leafed hays have more protein. That would mean that alfalfa or clover hay would probably be the best.
However, if the rabbit starts getting a poopy behind a narrow leafed hay such as timothy, orchard grass, or straw would be better. They are higher in fiber and have less protein and therfore help fight diahrrea in rabbits.
I don't recommend feeding your rabbit fruits or veggies, especially at that age. Young rabbits are already somewhat more prone to getting diahrrea and it would only take a small amount of fruits or vegetables to give a young rabbit diahrrea or a poopy behind.

A bunny that is that young should still be with their mother! Do not remove a litter of babies from their mom until they are fully weaned and at least 8 weeks old! 10 weeks is better. Their immune systems are still too weak and fragile.
Timothy hay is best. Check out this link for more specific info:
