Hello there! I've been posting about getting a new rabbit, we adopted her today. This is our first bunny, so I'm really excited to be a good mom to her. People suggested some treats and sitting with her for bonding. I gave her a little bit of apple just moments ago, by hand. She seemed really happy about that. But apples are treats, I've been told to not always give those to her.
The shelter guesses she is a bit under a year old. How often could I give her apple pieces for treats? (She looks a bit chubby but feels pretty bony, is that healthy or should I work on giving her some meat on those bones?) Also, when I sit on the floor near her cage, how often should I engage her? When she approaches me, or should I try to talk to her too? She really likes my cats, but doesn't always appreciate my pestering. (My maine coon and her really like each other, he only leaves her side when I leave the room to follow me, hahahah). She isn't too happy about being held, she does shake but doesn't fight. She ducks sometimes when being pet, but usually rubs against my hand after a bit of cooing. What's the best way to bond with her? Thanks!
(Sorry that these are common questions, but being a first time rabbit owner, I was wondering about her specific age and whatnot.)
