In love with my mini lop sisters

[MiniLopPrincesses]

Hi everyone newbie here,

I’d like to introduce my little 10 week old mini lop babies who are called Poppy and Luna. I am new to keeping bunnies so any feedback and advice is most welcome.

During the night I keep them in their hutch outside and during the day I am trying to intergrate them into my household as much as possible, and I’m hoping to litter train them.

So far they have no issues with my cats.

when I fetch them from their hutch they are quite timid and run away at first and they are not keen on being held as I carry them to the house. I have noticed that if I have them on my lap they become very relaxed and love to cuddle but once they are on the floor they just want to hide and run away. Is this normal for them to want to do that ?
I have attached some photos as I’d like feedback on their body language e.g…. Do they look relaxed/frightened/happy etc.

All advice is appreciated. I’d love to know If I am looking after my bunnies the best I can

carley

Don't move them between outside and inside, especially in the winter when the temperature difference is large. This can make them ill. Either keep them inside all the time or outside all the time. Make sure they have plenty of room either way. See links below.

Have you tried bonding with them? Laying in the floor and letting them hop up to you? If you need I have videos on this.
