Wow 4 weeks?? Thats way too young to be away from Mum! Whats her story?

What is her cage set up? She might be too young to litter train, but you can definitely encourage habits by setting up her pen right.

Baby bunnies are almost always cuddly She may or may not keep that, just a heads up

A flemish giant isn’t a cage bunny, the seller told you that right? She’ll get to anywhere from 12lbs to unlimited, they don’t have a recorded maximum. She’s not to young to have space, I’d start with at least 4×4, but within only a couple months she’ll need 4×8 minimum living space, even if she has out of cage time.

Rabbits don’t need a salt block They do need unlimited hay, and unlimited pellets (check out Bunny Info-Diets Above for good nutrition on a pellet!).

Welcome and pics please!

Definitely give her hay, ASAP. Its necessary for her diet, and wont give her problems.

The pellets with junk are awful. They are like feeding your kids lucky charms for every meal. Not so good. Check out Oxbow, its the best and highly recommended.

Is your lionhead neutered? If not, do not let him anywhere near her. They can mate through the bars, and she can get pregnant early, its not unheard of even at 6 weeks. Its a shame the breeder sold her at 4 weeks, thats illegal in most states. You might think about taking her to a vet and getting her checked out, she should still be on milk.

Hello and welcome

Are you currently feeding your Lionhead the pellets with the fruit and seeds? I would highly recommend not feeding those to any of your bunnies. It is like candy and very bad for them. A plain pellet is good – alfalfa based for babies (until one year of age) and timothy for adults (1+ years of age).

Any type of hay is great

All bunnies are different. I got my rabbit from a breeder also (will adopt next time) and she was handled as a baby as well, and I handled her, and she dislikes being handled in anyway. They all come with their own personality

BTW I have a lionhead and a flemish giant as well! They aren’t bonded yet though, its been a bit of a pain, since you have to wait until after spay recovery, and that can’t happen until she is 5-6 months old. I started working with them a bit but I’m taking a break and now Sam has one half of the house while Lady has the other.

Under Add Reply, there’s a little square with mountains and a sun.

Welcome to the forums! See this thread on how to upload/insert pictures – we’d love to see them: https://binkybunny.com/FORUM/tabid/54/aft/114117/Default.aspx

Everybody so far has made great points so far about litter training, food and hay…also, definitely a good idea to get your bunny in to see a vet for consultation – 4 weeks is quite young to be away from momma .

If you are planning to let the two of them run free, are you also planning to have them neutered and spayed? At 6 months, your lionhead sounds like just about the right age to have the operation done. Even with him altered, however, it’s important to have your girl bunny spayed when she is about 6 months old as well – females have a high incidence of reproductive cancer if left intact.

I’ve found the easiest way to add an image is to use quick reply then go back and edit the message.
