Hi there,
I am a first time owner of a rabbit.. She is some kind of dwarf but not sure exactly what..
My hubby's sister decided that she had wanted a rabbit, so she boughther from a pet store.. She was not good to this baby girl at all.. Shekept her in the bottom of a tall laundry basket, and the poor thingrarely received any attention..
So, as I have done so before,with other animals from her, (3 to beexact) we had taken this lil girl in.. Hubby's sister said she was 9months old when she bought her, she had her for a few months and I havehad her for a month.. So I think she is around a year old.. We wentstraight out and bought her a cage (although it seems awfully smallcompared to some I have seen on here), some hay, some pellets, and awater bottle. She is so much happier here.. She gets at least 3 hoursof run time everyday, and she just loves to snuggle up next to me andbe petted for hours..
We named her Nikita aka Bun bun.. I have done so much research on howto take good care of her, I almost feel like an expert lol..Although I have ran into a few things that some websites say theopposite of others..
One question is, Is carrots and apples OK for her in unlimited amounts,or should I limit them to her, and by how much.. She absolutely adorescarrots.. (some sites say to limit them, and a few say that I don'thave to)
Her cage is a bit small but she has plenty of room to stretch out inand still have enough room at the other end for her food..Ithas a plastic bottom and at the moment we are usingtelephone book pages to line the bottom.. I am a bit worried about thisas I have to change it several times a day because it get soaked inthere, and I don't want her to have to lay in it.. We was using cedarbedding, which I now know is a No-No, the pet shop owner that we boughtthe cage from said that was what we wanted.. I found out on-line thatthis was not good for them, and I immediately snatched itout.. Any good suggestions on bedding, that is light on thepocketbook?
I am a cat person, but I am amazed at how much I love this lil girlalready.. I never really knew that rabbits have so much spunk andpersonality.. If I had known what these little babies were like sooner,I would of probably had one way before now..
Also she has already peed on me twice lol How can I break her from this? It's getting annoying
