Newish to the rabbit world

[THATGUY]

Hello. I have a male dutch rabbit named Ash. I got Ash originally for my daughter who still enjoys him, but he has turned into my little buddy. I let him out, if I go to the cage he'll come over and let me pet him, sometimes when its not so hot I'll even set up a little area for him to hop around and eat some grass. Ash gets fresh food 2-3 times a week onto of the staple diet, weather it be a maple branch with leaves, a big dandilion salad, or some fruit, he's always getting spoiled. Ash is an indoor rabbit that was litter trained but always slept in the litter box so I took that out and it has the grated bottom with a blanket on the one side for him to sleep. Other than that I rotate out his toys once a week to keep him happy.

Cute! Glad to hear he has bonded with you. People are sometimes surprised at the relationship that one can form with a rabbit.

Agnes comes when called and knows when treats are coming and follows me around for head scratches

Oh and by the way, Agnes sleeps in her litterbox all the time. It's pretty normal....if you ever want to consider a litter box again...

Welcome!

Hee, Hee. Yes, my Shadowfax also loves to sleep in his litter box -- and he's my pure white rabbit! He still manages to stay sparkling clean.

Welcome, thatguy! :big wink:

Welcome!

I just re-read your post here and knew something caught me. I saw you mentioned maple branch "with leaves." That red-flagged me. I just did a quick search and found conflicting info. Some places say that the branch of maple is fine but that the leaves are toxic. Other places don't mention the leaves. I just wanted to give you a head's up just to be safe. I know some toxicities are cumulative...

OMG! I read that maple branches were OK and gave them to my bunny with leaves. As I remember she didn't eat them...Thanks for the information!!!
