Hi my name is Connor, I'm kinda new to theseforums. Actually I am new to these forums. I have a 5 month old hollandlop, and I was glad to find some forums to chat about my rabbit on. Hisname is Aoife, its a girls name. I thought he was a girl but in facthis testicles dropped late. Didnt feel right changing his name. Its myfirst pet ever and the experience has been rewarding.

i dont have the money. the first money i get willbe spent on a larger cage. I have to basically take him out of his cagein the morning and put him back in the evening. I live in my parentsbasement so its not a problem. he is well behaved and I have the place"rabbit proofed." I feel bad leaving him in his cage all day

Welcome to the forum Connor,

Where did you get Aoife from?

There are some threads that have cages where people here have made forvery little money. You could try the local animalshelter as they sell used cages. Sometimes they have bigcages there.

ive been told my holland lop will top out around4-4.5 pounds. I just finished reading your whole thread. what anexperience. I had no idea they were born so small, but then i nevercould understand how a tiny doe could carry five rabbits inside her.now it makes sense. yeah my rabbit has quite the personality. i hope hedoesnt mind that he was my test pet. i had to learn how to take care ofa pet for the first time with him. and i bought him on a whim too. notalways the best idea but it seems to have worked out in this case. ittook him 3 months to litter train. it was worth it. makes it so mucheasier.

Ya I was amazed too that she had so manybabies! And trust me they are quite a handfull! We are going to bekeeping two, and the rest are already sold I will be sad to see themleave, but hey I still have 5 more weeks

i can imagine they are quite a handful. my onerabbit can be hard to take care of. he chews on wires and baseboards.ive gotten him to not chew on the wires as much. when he is not chewingon wires or baseboards he is hiding under my couch or bed. he likes tosocialize in the evenings. he likes to lick my nose and wont stop.

mines like that too. ill be watching tv in thebasement and he will for no reason dart from one corner to the otherfar end as if he is scared. he will stand still for a few secs then goabout his business and 60 secs later he will make a fast dart again.its the weirdest thing.

 

[IluvBunniez]

mines pretty good in the backyard. i too worryabout cats which is why i dont leave him unattended. i did for an houronce before it occured to me about cats. im not worried about himescaping cause my yard is fenced, but now i always supervise him in theback.

 

[IluvBunniez]

[con-man]

yeah i got my rabbit cause i was living in anapartment at the time by myself and it was really lonely. im back withmy 'rents now but i got him for company. best decision ever.and nowthat i am back home my parents have fallen in love with him and itsfunny cause they would never let me get a pet as a kid.

 

[IluvBunniez]

ya my mom got me thumps for x-mas and my b/f got me faynay for easter

 

[con-man]

i bought my rabbit and his cage and all the stuffwith the chirstmas money my grandpa sent me. when i told my parentsthey didnt approve but i was living in my apartment so they couldnt doanything about it. then when my landlord starting being a dork and ihad to move home my parents got stuck with him.

 

[IluvBunniez]

Yamy mom used to like thumper until she bit her lol now she is afraid ofher and faynay is to hyper to hold lol

 

[con-man]
