For the first while, you’ll be seeing little poops everywhere, she’s marking the room as Hers. She’ll settle down with the poops once she has established her dominance over your life.

I can’t tell you about the hay, as I have never seen lucerne hay here where I am from.

My Monkey jumps on me all the time when I’m laying down. She like to be Up, and if I happen to be able to satisfy her need to lord over her domain, so be it

Little licks, I have only ever gotten if I had grape juice or some such on my fingers, my bun isn’t the type to give kisses. But getting bunny kisses is wonderful! Monkey Does like to nibble on my hair now and then. I hope she isn’t telling me it looks like hay… hehe

Welcome to BB!

Welcome and congrats on your new bunny!

Lucerne is known as alfalfa hay in the States. It’s a richer type hay – higher in protein. It’s fine for young, growing bunnies but needs to be cut back for adults. Grass hay’s good now too.

The jumping on you and licking you is awesome! She’s obviously pretty social. You are being groomed!

The poops are probably territorial. Also, being young, she’s likely not litter trained yet. Check out the litter training tips under Bunny Info on this site. The scattering poop will reduce in time when she feels the territory is marked & is litter trained. It may make a reappearance from time to time though like when puberty hits or she discovers new territory.

Ahhh gotcha. Alfalfa is good for babies, adults not so much

Welcome to BB! In my opinion, the best way to introduce dogs is to do it one at a time on-leash. I would probably keep the bunny in a cage or pen for the first few meetings too, because you don’t want her coming right up to a dog that’s not ready to meet her. Keep the dog far enough away from the bunny that it can remain calm and praise and give the dog treats as long as it’s being calm. Speak soothingly and try to keep a really calm environment. Gradually move your dog closer to the bunny cage until your dog is totally calm – no whining, lunging, barking, etc even right next to the bunny cage. At this point you can probably let the bun out, but keep the dog on a leash and keep prasiing the dog for being calm.

Some dogs might go right through this training in a few days and some dogs might never get it; it really depends on the dog’s personality and prety drive. Even if the dog can never be off leash with the bun, this training should keep them from getting over excited and scaring her.

As far as the bun’s age, as long as she’s settled in I don’t see any problem with starting the training. Since you’ll make sure the dog is always calm by keeping him far enough away from the bun, it hopefully won’t stress her out too much. The problem would arise by moving too fast with the dog and letting it get excited, which could scare the bunny.

I dont’ know a thinkg about introducing to dogs and such.   I do know little baby bunnies poop more frequently than adults and their little systems metabolisms run much faster than adult bunnies.

We would love to see pics of her.

I think you can get a baby well trained by moving slowly in your progress with her. You really have plenty of time, and while a week may seem long, it isn’t compared to years ahead with her.
One of the ways to get her litter trained is to limit the area she is allowed to roam in at first. You might stick to one room only for a few days, and not allow the dogs in. Let her get used to her new home, and get used to learning what a litter box is for and where it is. She can also have one outside her cage so she can really learn to use it. Read up on the info. in the green banner above for good overall info.

The bunny is giving you kisses. That means she is happy and very comfortable with you. You’re off to a great start. I can’t advise you on the dogs, except to say to let her get a feeling of safety in her own home and cage before introducing someone that may make her very afraid. Even after they grow up together and become great friends if you’re lucky, you still won’t want to leave them alone together unsupervised.
