  I bought bunny from a petstore when he was around 6 weeks old. He is about 3-4 months old, I’m not sure. He currently has an eye injury, but other then thats he’s ok. He eats Timothy Hay, Alfalfa Pellets, Carrots, Cilantro, Broccoli <---mispelled? ,and Romaine Lettuce on a daily basis. He chews on everything and he loves harrasing the cats. When I first got him he was for my little sister, but she got sick of taking care of him, (impossible as the only thing she did was change his water), so he’s now mine. He spent his first days in a rubbermaid, but then he discovered how to jump out. The rubbermaid container was thrown away, and he had full 24/7 access to a bedroom with only a matress and a kiddie table. He wasn’t even litter box trained, which meant picking up after him everyday. I decided to buy him a cage. He gets out twice a day for exercise. The cage is pretty big, he can stand up and stretch around, without touching the top. Enough with my lame chattering, Here are the pictures :

  He shares his life with 2 cats, 1 turtle, a 1 and a half year old baby (loves him), two parakeets and ME!

  He’s beautiful!
  Definitely read through the site for basic info. and also check out the House Rabbit Society’s website, http://www.rabbit.org, for important info. as well.
  
  Bunnies actually like to be clean, so you can start litter training him now. Just put a litter pan with litter (NO pine or cedar shavings, please) in a corner of the new cage where he seems to like to pee, and he’ll use it. Put a little bit of hay in the corner of the pan since they eat/poop at the same time.

  Your bunny is absolutely gorgeous. I love that face. A litterbox with hay and litter in it. That gets them started on their training. It is never to young to start. Just don’t yell or smush their nose in their mess. They get scared. I am sure you love your bunny and wouldn’t do that anyway.
  
  Starting in a small area with littertraining seems to have more success. Put his litterbox where he likes to go once he is not having accidents you can expand his play area some more.
  
  He is just lovely.

  Note that even when buns get the hang of the litter pan (and like others say, many do very easily), they may leave a stray poo here or there. The main thing is that they pee in it. Also, you should remove the wood shavings from his cage. If you want to put bedding down, you should get some cotton or paper bedding – such as the Carefresh pet bedding. The reason I say ‘if’ is that if you use bedding, the rabbit could ignore the litter box entirely. If you check the bedding, you’ll probably see a corner of the cage he’s using to pee in – that’s where you want to put the litter box.
  
  If you don’t use bedding, you’ll want to make sure that the floor of the cage has a surface that isn’t wire based – a rug or linoeum sample or even a blanket will work wonders.
  
  You may also want to shy away from the Broccoli – although my rabbit ate is safely for 5 years, I found out that it can cause excess gas that could cause them to become bloated and have something called GI Stasis – a life threatening problem.
