Hi everyone, Im new to this forum and a new bunny owner..not brand new, as i did have them as a child, and my parents raised them but this is the first time i have owned a bunny being the MOM…meaning all falls on me…Now i know better then to get ANY pet from a pet store…so that being said here is my confession…I just got a bunny from a bunny store, had NO intention of getting a bunny, like ever, although growing up i love mine to pieces..Hubby and i went to our local pet store to buy toys for our cockatiels and we saw the CUTEST little Lionhead in the store with her brothers and sisters..we decided to hold her and she was a sweetheart, but not being interested in being a bunny owner again we left…until the next day we found ourselves in a store next to the petstore, we decided to pop in and say hello to cute little bunny that we did not want..and again we left..but this time we left sad and certain we would never see her again..after a sleepless night and a LONG convo we decided she needs a home anyway, so it might as well be OUR home…called the petstore in the morning and had them hold on to her so we could talk about it longer, and by noon today she was ours…we named her penelope and we love her already,…I do need advice though..I want to make sure she gets the life she deserves..he can’t roam free but will be taken out to play a bunch, like our birds they get plenty of out of cage time..i have her in the largest cage my living room will allow, its 41.5LX17.5W X 26H i can’t go any bigger, she is a lionhead, i hope this will work for her as she grows.I opted not to do a “starter cage” as i know they are not good in the long run, she has a little igloo to hide in, i put vitamins in her water bottle, she is getting timothy hay and pellets..and as far as bedding goes, right now i opted NOT to put the screeen over the tray but will in the future, she is laying in the soft bedding they provided but eventually i would like to put down yesterdays news inside the bottom of the cage..if im doing something wrong let me know, i would like to litter train as well, and she will be spayed once i get my head wrapped around the fact we have a baby bunny in our home.
