Answer 1

You strike me as weird :/

Answer 2

Well, she probably isn't used to the surroundings and such. As you said, she is a baby. She may not know that when she walks/hops around, that she is knocking over her home! Guide her around. Also, rabbits eat a lot. What goes in, must come out. So I can't help you with reducing her waste. As for the cage being a mess, I am not to sure if that is what she likes, or what she thinks it is supposed to be like. I'm sure that if you start guiding it, it will learn, but if you let this continue until its an adult, it will be much to difficult to control. I hope this helps because I am no expert at rabbits.

Answer 3

Umm, well firstly it's a new palce for your bunny, so maybe she's just trying to get used to it.

No it's not supposed to be a punishment because she doesn't know better, you have to train her, try training her to use a litter box, my baby learned how within the first 5 days I got him, but he has a biting problem, and I'm not too happy abotu that, so I'm consdierign calling the breeder to take him back.

Cleanign the cage is great, you should clea nit whenver it's dirty, this avoids smell too!

Also wait a few days, then I suppsoe you could give her a sponge bath or somethin. Use warm water, and a SPECIAL bunny soap human, even baby soap is too harsh.

Then wash her up, she will probably squirm, possibly bite.

You should towel dry her, but when she's older you can use a blow dryer, put on low, and cool.

You should also brush your bunbun, this keeps her coat nice and shiney.

Good luck!

Answer 4

you're really odd.....

and why'd you take her everywhere?!?! rabbits get stressed out very easily, and when you first get a rabbit you should leave her alone and let her adjust and after a while open the cage so she can roam around.

your rabbit is bored and is running around her cage at night. mine did that but i got him toys and a bigger cage, now he's fine.

please, stop taking her everywhere.
