    First time bunny owner. Any help appreciated.

    OK! I had a momentary freak out until I looked it up. My fiance noticed a reddish orange marking on the carpet in the room Freya gets to free roam for a portion of the day. We passed it off as someone spilling something until we noticed a few more spots and realized it's Freya's pee! I thought...

    I'm very proud of her, although if she would have complications it wouldn't be her fault, just as it isn't our fault as humans if we're born with health issues or a predisposition to them. I've learned that she was eating Muesli, along with all the other rabbits the breeder/show person at the...

    There's so much contrary information out there. Some sites say double the greens of other sites, and same for pellets, and it seems most of them have different opinion on the amount to rabbits of X weight. Some say a half cup right away, some say a cup, some say just a bite. I didn't know where...

    She received her evening leafy greens (1/2 cup of Romaine Lettuce). I also added half of a grape and a small bite of banana. When I checked on her an hour later, the lettuce was gone and the fruit remained. Our girl just isn't interested in sweets/fruits. I guess this is good since she doesn't...

    Also, I gave Freya 1/2 cup of Romain lettuce and a tablespoon of pellets for breakfast and she ate it all up right away. Another 1/2 cup and another tablespoon this evening will put her at a cup of leafy greens and 1/8 of a cup of pellets for the day. But I am going to give her an extra...

    Not so fast lol. She's so small that she actually did sit in the meatloaf pan and pooped all over in it. I was a little shocked to find her snuggled in it this morning. 🤦‍♂️🤣 I ordered this to try and it will arrive tomorrow...

    Freya is a little over 4 months old. As a Mini Satin she will be a maximum of about 4.5lbs when fully grown. I don't know how much growing she has left, but she's very small. I don't know how much she weighs because I won't pick her up to weigh her and she hasn't seen the vet yet (soon enough)...

    We left he alone for about an hour and came back to find she ate about half of the lettuce we gave her.

    I tried Romaine lettuce today. She turned her nose up at it. No to grapes, no to strawberries, no to bananas, and no to lettuce. A big fat yes to pellets and hay. I don't get it, man. What it I can't get her to eat leafy greens? Are they vital or will she be fine on pellets and hay?

    A very content bunny. (I just dropped that block, she isn't chewing on it; and yes, my daughters paint my toenails and I don't wash it off because I'm the cool dad.)

    Ok so I was able to find a permanent litter box with the right dimensions at Pet Smart. I went to Meijer next and found a small meatloaf glass to use as a hay holder to keep it unsoiled. Is this ok? And yes I changed her towel and while I was working on the litter box she thought it was a...

    Is having hay only in the litter box area ok? I don't know where else to put any in her pen, and I'm afraid that if I had some more elsewhere she'll get confused on where to be pooping and peeing.

    That's what the breeder/show person said, and that's what the pedigree states as well.

    She was born on March 27th of this year, so a little over 4 months old. My plans for her are to let her acclimate until she's 5 months old, and then slowly phase out the Alfalfa pellets for adult Timothy pellets and slowly get her on leafy greens by the time she's 6 months old at which point (at...

    Ok. Freya has had a habit of circling my son and me and lightly nibbling on us in passing. I let her out to free roam the room she stays in and she's doing binky after binky and running zoomies. About 5 minutes ago she was running in circles around me (I'm laying on the floor with her; it's just...

    If it's a treat hay or an alternative to Timothy, no wonder she prefers it! Lol. Interesting that you say it's softer because in my research I read that Timothy is best for teeth. She is an avid chewer of her willow balls and sticks, so I think we're good there. Although I hope she's not...

    Is there any health difference between the Timothy Hay and the Orchard Hay? Are they both just as good? I bought both and mixed them up. You can tell the difference between the two with the naked eye. Freya prefers to take the Timothy Hay pieces and spread them out in her litter box to poop and...

    We have litter box poops! I'm so freaking proud of her.

    I just put her back. It's a hit already. She knows just what to do.

    I'm up for the challenge. GIS is so freaking scary. I'm going to get some Critical Care and other supplies to be ready just in case. Today I inserted a litter box. It's makeshift for now until I can find something more permanent than cardboard with the right dimensions.
