  my baby bunnys leg is twisted out and sits at a 90degree angle when i hold her. Ive only had her for 3days. her leg when i feel it has a curve in it at the elbow, its her front right. I have had 2 other people notice this, her leg rotates away from her body, but she appears to hop and binky just fine. should i take her to the vet or wait til 12week vaccines?? (she is currently 6weeks old). will it grow out with age? none of my other buns have had this before :s

  Definitely take her in, and ask the vet what is wrong and whether it will be an issue for her whole life.
  You may want to decide if you keep her – not that I question you will love her no matter what, but you may not be in a position to give her the care required if she has an expensive chronic problem. Since you’ve had her only 3 days, it may be the responsibility of whoever you got her from to take her back if you are not able to care for her properly. I would inform them that you have an issue and ask if that is an option for you.
  
  I don’t usually advise giving up on a bunny, but it may be that a more experienced bunny owner would be able to work with her, so I want you to explore your options immediately before proceeding. Definitely let the vet see her asap regardless of who cares for her.
  Good luck and let us know.
