So the rabbit my fiance and I had out eyes on for a while is finally a part of our family! She's been at this lovely no-kill shelter called Four Footed Friends since May. They've been having little to no luck finding her a home since they only house cats and dogs--no one who wants a rabbit would think to look there. However, our friend took us there for a kitten visit, and I fell in love with her instantly. We've visited her a few times, and finally decided to fill out an application for her the day before she was going to be transferred to another shelter. They usually do not even think about walk-in adoptions, but after talking to them for a while and spending time with Clover (her given name), and them giving out references and vet a few calls--they gave us the okay! They were even so happy she was being taken to a forever home they gave us the litter pan she was using, along with her treats and pellets. We still ended up splurging on her though, being our new bunny princess and all.
Either way, Clover-Lillith (I couldn't fully rename her, she seems to respond so well to her given name hahah) is now in the room with me, my fiance, and our three cats and seems quite comfortable. This is out first rabbit, so I'm really excited to give her my best. We didn't get a crazy big cage, though. We're planning on her being outside of it after she adjusts to be with us, for the better part of the day since I am a stay-at-home wife, with our cats. She is getting along with them so well. They keep 'kissing' through the cage. She's also taken to being picked up significantly better than our first three times at the shelter, hahah.
Now since I haven't owned a rabbit prior, and I know they are far different than cats, I am going to be taking her to a vet in the near future to have them teach me proper procedures for trimming her nails, cleaning her eyes, and checking her rear-end and it's glands. I've studied up on it enough but I do not want to harm her practicing it. Any recommendations for bunny bonding with be greatly appreciated! Thank you for looking!
