I found out it is a girl. They said her birthday is around December 2.. That would be like only 7 weeks old. :/
They said she's a Blue Eyed Otter Mini Lop.

Got her some oxbow...Alfalfa, Botanical, Oat & Timothy Hay... Oxbow Alfalfa young rabbit food/pellets.
Two grass mats. A wicker basket that's holding all the hays. A bunch of different toys. Apple sticks. A water crock & bottle. Not sure she'll take the crock.

She likes empty paper bags.
She's afraid of any surface that isn't very flat carpet.
Doesn't like my wood floors. I wonder if that will last.

She ate a few pieces of romaine. Snacking on pellets and hay.
A bit of running. No binkys as of yet. She's as tiny as could be.

We woke up today to poop all over. No cecals anywhere to be seen.
Water crock empty.
I had put a 1/4 cup of pellet out last night yesterday... It was empty this morning too.
I didn't see pee spots anywhere.
Still not digging high places, shelves, anything not very flat carpet.

She was running & did some binkys this morning. :)
 
She is just so adorable, I love her colouring. I know you´ll be worried but this is one bun who´s here to stay. I really do look forward to seeing loads more pics and lots more news. I fill my paper bags with hay for them to find. You could put some rugs on the wooden floor to make it not so slippery.

I went back and read Simon´s story last night. I cried my eyes out but he was such as special little boy and you are such a special bunny mommy. There are tears in my eyes as I write this now. Every time I read about one of these little angels leaving us I feel so lucky to have my three boys and will cherish every minute with them.

She seems like a happy little bunny. Welcome little lady. What will you call her ?
 
Oh goodness me, she is absolutely gorgeous! How precious. Hope she continues to settle in well :)

I did pick up some gray carpet from home Depot. She'll walk & run on that. If she really wants to she will go on the hard floor but it's this weird wattle walk. It's kind of funny.
We've been tossing around names.
Lala, Fia, and Sloane. Sloane is what's seems to have stuck...

We've seen her run and jump and even completely turn her whole body around in a circle in the air.
She is so so so tiny.

She's afraid of things though. Heights. She won't go check out the shelves I made in her cage.... Okay.
Yet she'll come up on the couch. I made pillow steps. She'll run up those, check things out & ever so carefully go back down like she's afraid she'll fall.
Every morning the 1/4 cup of pellet is gone & I refill it.
This morning her cecals were in the cage. :(
So no romaine for her today.
It's messed up our morning get to be friends routine but oh well.
She keeps coming to my knees looking for it.

Every day is like the same have to reassure her all is well and its okay to come and play.
It has only been a few days.
She only pees in a few places. (Thank you God I'm not one of them)
We got this Brown basket for her to chew..
No. It is now the potty basket.
She'll go to it to pee or poop & sometimes eat the hay in it. No biggie. I've kept a pee pad under it. I just throw it out at the end of the day & rinse the basket off.
I'm wondering how long the basket will be okay for. Hmmm

Can't get a handle on what hay she likes. It seems to change. Nothing wrong with that.

I feel....A bit safe like things might be okay?
Things were off from go with Simon.
Even Dougal had issues.

Dunno it's like I want to feel alright like all will be well. Just hard to trust it. I'm trying not to read too much into her not eating her cecals today.
She's running. She's playing. She's nibbling on hay. She's eating her pellets right now.

Oh and we did cut the back of the brown bag off & made it a tunnel... She likes that.
She doesn't chew on anything though except her hay.
While the cords to all my electronics are happy about that I wish she would chew things.
I did buy this soft mat thing from Walmart you can either freeze or microwave. I intend to use it in the summer. My place doesn't have a/c.

I'll look into more toys soon.
 
I am sitting on the couch using the mini computer...it is easier to do a thing or two. Sloane has come round a time or two and approached the pillows to come up and taken a look at it like..what in the hell is that and gone back the way she came. lol...

I had found one store that sold Oxbow hay...it wasn't the most stellar looking hay either but it did in a pinch. It was maybe 30 or so bucks for the 3 small bags and 1 large.
I went onto Sweet Meadows site just now and ordered the 9lbs of Alfalfa Hay and the 40oz of 1st cut Timothy for her. I am wondering how long it will take for her to go through that.
It cost about the same amount of money for that as it did for Oxbow.
I can only hope she likes their hay...

She is playing at being speed racer right now. I love seeing it :)
2 minutes at it and she wipes her self out.
Wish my phone would send video....
 
So I took a bunch of pictures just a bit ago..and for that..she went over to the pee pad and when I laid down next to her she turned around and peed right next to me lol. At least it was still on the pad.
Guess she wasn't happy with me.

So I was looking over old threads and things and came across one about BunnyBale. It looks like they have a retail store right by where this new vet is we will be going to. I might have to pop in when we go.

Ugh. I was cleaning up poop & hay over by the pee pad a minute ago. She comes over and I'm getting head butted and all so I put my hand out to see what's up cause she really won't tolerate me head rubbing her and all.

She does the bunny marking you thing with the chin rub and than bites me rather hard.
Brat!
I'm the one picking up your poop you adorable ball of fur!

So I told her no, gently put her head down and moved on.
I don't think she likes me over by the pee pad/willow basket/hay.....
 
It's not many people that are happy to see poop.

Nothing all day. Terrified of stasis. Then, poop. Pee. But it had to be in the basket on the pee pad.
Used a vibrating massager on her tummy right before. I wonder if that helped.

Sent a pm. I hope your bun is feeling better. It's so worrying when they aren't pooping, and such a relief when they finally do.
 
So according to Fedex...I don't live in my home -
Delivery exception
Incorrect address - Street number

I call like man, I need that. It's yummy stuff for my bunny.
All like too bad the guys off the truck for the day. They'll try again tomorrow.

I'm kinda annoyed. We were really looking forward to giving her that today.
 
I just can't relax till a vet looks her over. Dr. Gold is booked up. So I said okay to Dr. Yuri at the same practice. We go this evening at 4:30.
I just need them to tell me she looks good, her poops good and relax basically I guess.

I don't think she'll be very happy with me.
It's a 45 minute ride one way.
