I'm getting a baby bunny.. what should I know?

Question

I have never had a bunny before.

Answer 1

If you are going to let it run around the house Make sure all cords are put up high because they will chew them up ! Bunnies can be tought  to use a litter box if not you will have little pellet p**p every where . They Love vegetables . Oh and when you hold them make sure that you support there back legs if not it could break there back if they jump ......Have fun with the little one .

Answer 2

be gentle. pet is softly and hold it carefully always supporting the hind feet. when holding it make sure to cup it's hind feet and hold them against your body. when the hind feet are exposed or not safe feeling that's when they squirm and kick and scratch because they are scared. also give it a big cage to hop around in. it should have lots of floor space not necessarily height. hold it alot...and while it is eating pet it so it associates petting with good times. also let it run around on your porch or something so it can sprint around just keep an eye on it.

Answer 3

they like to sleep in a cardboard box inside their cage and they like dandelion green!!!

Answer 4

ok

rabbits are very gentle. they love hugs. you need to buy a hutch, run, water bottle, food bowl, hay, newspaper and food.

if you get a hutch and run, it would be easier if they were both attatched. its cheaper than buying a hutch and a run, when you can buy a hutch with a run attatched

ok rabbits need to have hay in their hutch, and maybe some newspaper.

twice a day they need to be fed, morning and evening. have a refil of water once a day, and they need a run once a day. they also eed some plastic toys in their hutch for hem to knaw on :)

thats all i thinm ou need to know lol :)

good luck

ps , call it molly after my help Lol :)

The baby bunnies in pet shops are sold unweaned and too young to be away from mom. They usually do not live very long either.

Answer 6

well my best friend used to have a bunny that would eat her babbies.. this is caused by stress cause bunnies need a quiet place to live and my friend lives close to a busy road. so make sure they get some quiet :) and make sure you give them plenty of water, and food and a big enough cage so they dont get fat , and give them a carrot every couple of days and clean their cage .. you could train it to use a litter box if you want it to be an indoor bunny , my friend did that but i dont remember how she did it .. but good luck :)

Answer 7

rabbits are the most adorable animals, i have two!! they are easy too look after, and are easy to clean out. here are some things you should keep in mind...

1. go at and see it ATLEAST once a day, one at night, so you can give it food and water

2. some rabbits like carrot, some dont. if your rabbits dont, try feeding them apple, or golden nuggets!!

3. when you first get it, every night make sure that the door is locked and tight, if it gets out, and runs away, there is 99% chance it wont come back, as it is not used to you, and be extra careful if your garden backs onto a forest.

4. they drink mainly water, the best thing to do is give it a bottle of water, not a bowl as it may tip it up, or nudge it out like my rabbits lol =)

5. try to clean out its hutch atleast once a week, to keep it healthy and to stop maggots.

6. they love to go out for runs!!! try and get a hutch with a run attached, so that there will be les hassle getting it back in.

so there are some things that you need to know about rabbits!!

have fun with your cute bunny :D

by the way, they like to have hay and paper in their home/hutch. as with the paper they tear it up, with the hay they sleep on it.

Answer 8

make sure he has enough water and food. Also,  they like to eat flowers and alphapha. If it's a little wild, while it's eating, pet it, but make sure it can see you're petting it, otherwise it will get scared.
