So I don't know if this is a silly question but I want to be safe! I have lots of toys for my male bun who is a year and a half old, but I want to know if my 7 week old bun can only have certain toys? I have lots of chewing sticks, baby keys, paper towel rolls, plushies, and so on. What is safest for her right now?
 
All of those toys are safe, just make sure that she isn't eating a lot of the cardboard, to prevent any digestive upset. What's her diet like?
Oh and in case you don't know, females should be spayed as soon as possible (as soon as 6 months old) because they have an 80% chance of getting uterine cancer after 3-4 years old.

Thank you! I have never had a bun so young so this is so new to me. She is on unlimited hay, water of course and oxbow young rabbit pellets! She definitely loves to eat and poop so I know she is really adjusting to her diet! Lol and yes absolutely! My vet for the buns is really wonderful and will be fixing her as soon as he feel it's safe:)
 
I think that the young rabbit pellets are made of alfalfa, not sure though. If they are and you are feeding alfalfa hay then you don't need the alfalfa hay, you can just feed whatever you feed your adult bun. And even though alfalfa hay can be good for young rabbits (not eating alfalfa pellets) it can be hard to switch them to regular hay later. :) I just said 6 months because this is the minimum age that I have heard most vets say.

I have her on the same hay as my older bun, oxbow Western Timothy hay/ orchard grass mix! And yes! My vet said the same but he said sometimes they can do it at 4 months as long as her health is up to par and such:) either way it'll be between 4-6 months! Thanks so much for the advice!
