Welcome Steveg.
She’s a beautiful bunny.If you go up to the green banner at the top of the site, the drop down menus will show you all the different topics about caring for your bunny. It will give you pointers on cages, food, litter training, everything.
Also check out the House Rabbit Society website, http://www.rabbit.org. That will be better for health information too.I would start out by giving her about 2 hours of supervised freedom in the morning and again at night. But don’t give her the run of the house yet. Start with one room, or maybe two, and let her explore. Bunny proof those rooms first. (See info. above) If she stays closer to her cage, she’ll get litter trained faster.
By all means buy a larger cage, or you can just buy a dog exercise pen. Her cage can open onto it, and she’ll be confined in that room but with space to run. Then her cage becomes a safe place that belongs to her. -
Welcome!
1.How much feadom do you give her: Two hours to start is a good idea. Four hours is the standard, more is better
You’ll need to do rabbit proofing https://www.binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/BunnyP…fault.aspx and supervise to ensure she’s not getting into things. I find it’s best in the evening when I’m home and usually they’ll hang out where I am-TV room or the like 
2.car wars “she hates her cage it is too smal lfor her its like a gini pig cage poor thing
Take a look at the cool habitats herehttps://binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/CoolHabitats/tabid/71/Default.aspx Even the largest rabbit cage is too small for the smallest bunny. And they are expen$ive! It’s actually cheaper and better to build you own-don’t worry it’s easy
And then you can build it to suit you, your household and your bunny 3. potty training “think she is allready she likes our shower and right by the cat litter box
Read this section on potty training.https://binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/LitterboxTraining/tabid/62/Default.aspx Then let us know if you have questions
It will get better once you have her spayed. It’s a good time to find a good rabbit vet -before you need to spay and before she gets sick-vets who see rabbits, especially good ones can be hard to find. Here’s some tips http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/vet.html
she is verry social and jellious of us talking too to or loving on out 2 cats lol she is in our face at the same time the cats are
she sounds very cute!
