Hi Guys!
So I have a 2 yr old female netherland dwarf and I decided to get a baby male the other day and get him neutered when he's mature (keeping him away from her around that 'danger time' of course).

Anyways, he's 6 weeks old and soooo tiny (oh btw, he's a polish). I haven't fed him any fruits or veggies, just pellets (and I'm buying him alfalfa hay today). Is there anything I'm missing? I don't want to kill the poor little guy or make him sick.

I introduced him to my female bunny in their outdoor pen and she was being like a mom to him. She was sniffing him and licking his ears. But then she got really territorial and mounted him (to show dominance I guess) and he was cool with it and let her. But then they started chasing eachother and she pulled out a tiny chunk of his hair. He didn't seem to care/notice but I was right there and scooped him up. I know bonding takes a really long time, and I have the time to work on that with them. But is this all normal?

I feel like my female bunny (ninja) is getting jealous of my baby boy (Pirate....by the way, is Pirate a cute name? I didn't know if i should call him Pirate or Turtle). But Ninja is used to me giving her all the attention.

Also, what toys do you suggest would be best?
 
get some timothy hay to if you can.

good toys are toilet paper rolls or some baby rattles or even metal spoons

its normal for her to be aggressive. keep them seperate until hes fixed. keep their cages by one another so she can get used to his scent
 
Is Timothy Hay Better? cuz I have tons of that, just read somewhere that babies should have alfalfa hay.
and I have them near each other but i'm always around to make sure they don't kill eachother or get bullied
