My family has just adopted the cutest bunny. We got "it" (I say that because I don't know what the sex is) about a month ago. My daughter named "her" Lulu. We adopted her from a farm who kept them outside. We are not sure how old she is, and will be taking her to the vet next week. We brought her home and it definately took a few days for her to warm up, but now she allows me to hold her and stroke her fur, and the top of her head. When I come near her cage, she will stretch to the top to get some attention. We love her dearly.
I have read a lot, and know that the bunnies take awhile to "potty" train. I have read that sometimes they don't get it until after they have been fixed. We would love to let her out and run around more, but she pees everywhere. I can't let her on my carpet because of that. Is it okay and safe to put a harness on them and walk them outside? I am worried about fleas and other bugs. Is that a concern??
I also have been trying to find the right toys and chew things that she likes. She will not chew the pumice stone I bought, the wood sticks, or the alfalfa cubes. She has however, been chewing on her plastic litter box. Ugh. I wondered if there is something that anyone can suggest.
Thanks so much, and I am so glad that there are forums like this because we just want to take the best care of our sweetie. I have learned a lot already!!
