Hey everyone me and my girlfriend recently decided to purchase a 3 month old female Netherlands Dwarf bunny and named her Molly. Knowing no one that owns a bunny this is all new to use and I could use some advice just to make sure we are doing everything right.
We would cage her up for the first 2 weeks but then felt bad. She now has run to the living room with her cage in there but the top is off so she hops in and out. We are using CareFresh bedding in the cage (roughly 1-2") with Yesterdays News in her litter box.
The problem is she doesnt use her litter box very much. It has been roughly a month now of picking up her poop/pee out of the CareFresh and putting it into the litter box. Do some rabbits take awhile to get into the litter traning?
Once she does get the litter traning down would we be able to get a cat litter box and remove the whole cage? Like put her food down in the kitchen and her litter box in the closet if she knows were it is?
Also we were wondeirng about getting her a friend, maybe a male with them both fixed? Would it be to late to get her a friend once she is a yr or older since the male will be younger or does this matter?
Sorry for all the questions but we are new to rabbit keeping and alot of pet shop workers don't seem to have definite answers, alot of umm I think it would be okay.
