Hi, I'm Taren, I'm 16 years old, and just got a bunny for Easter. I named him Peter, so original, I know, haha.
Anyhow, I've been reading some stuff on the boards and I needsome major help on how to deal with Peter . He's a mini rex, and oh soadorable.He's five months old.I realized afterreading some stuff that I really didn't know much about keeping a bunnyhealthy and happy and everything, and i wuold LOVE it if you guys couldhelp out.
I need advice on litter box training, leash training or walking, food,cages, everything, lol. I wish my mom wouldn't have suprised me withhim that way I could have found this out BEFORE Peter arrived, haha,but I guess I just gotta learn all I can now!
So far he seems very sweet, hes pretty calm when it comes to me holdinghim and petting him, though he gets a little skittish sometimes andscratches, which hurts alot, haha. Mom tried clipping his nails todaybut she got too close on one and made him bleed...I wanted to cry, Ifelt so bad...so she stopped and decided that we'll just take him to avet and get it done. We were also thinking...can we get him declawed oris that not a good idea? I mean, he'll never be a wild rabbit, he'llalways live in the house, but does he need his claws?
I'm sorry I'm so clueless, but thats why I'm here, haha.
Also, what kind of cage and stuff should I get for him? He's in a dogkennel with shavings for now until I know what to get for sure, we havea bowl of water that i change a couple times a day, and a little bowlof food. I need major help, anything you can tell me is GREATLYappreciated, I want the best for my Peter I love him todeath already, haha. Thanks so much!
