Im not sure if I have a boy or girl??? You can do a search of thearchives for the numerous articles we have posting on sexing yourrabbit.

I got my bunny the day after mothers day and the pet store said he was3 weeks old. I'm assuming you mean last mothers day, soyour rabbit would be approx. 1 year old and old enough to bealtered. I hope the pet store was mistaken about theage. The sale of pet rabbits under 8 weeks of age is illegalin the state of Pennsylvania.

How old should a rabbit be whenyou spade them??? Most vets won't do it until theyare 6 months old.

I am using cat pellet litter in litter box is that bad should I usebedding instead??? You need to change thatnow!!! Cat litter is too dusty and can cause respiratoryproblems, plus rabbits sometimes eat their litter and cat litter willcause a blockage. Actually, you can use a cat litter that iswood pellets, like Feline Pine or recycled newspaper like Yesterday'sNews. Most people here seem to use Woody Pet. It'sa wood based pellet and works very nicely. I think that usingbedding might be a bit confusing with litter box training.

Im not sure if I have a boy or girl??? There is agood site about sexing, with photos listed on the Cheat sheet forRabbit Care, you can find at the top of this page.

I got my bunny the day after mothers day and the pet store said he was3 weeks old I honestly hope not.Responsible breeders won't sell rabbits under 8 weeks. At 3weeks, they still need their mother. Are you sure they didn'tmean 3 months? How big is he/she? Whatbreed? Do you have any pictures you can post so people couldhelp you determine the age? In PA, rabbits cannot legally besold at under8 weeks.

I hope this helps you some. Good luck with yournew baby. If you really think he/she is so young, you can PMme and I'll try to give you a little advice. I have 2 babiesat home that I've had since 4-5 weeks of age.
