Hi everyone!
I am brand new here so I apologize if my post doesn’t follow the usual formats and all. I know this is a long post, please stick with me! I don’t expect everyone to answer all my questions but any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance! 
I got my very first bunny yesterday! I want to do what is best for my bunny but bunnies are the one animal I don’t know much about. I started my college education on a prevet track before switching to the field of human medicine so I do have some “textbook knowledge” however I still feel lost! So some questions I am hoping to find the answer to:
1. My bunny is an 8 week old boy. He sleeps all the time! I have been trying to spend as much time with him as I can which involved us snuggling on the couch all day today. He will sleep on and off for about two hours then when he wakes up I put him in his pen to get food, water, go to the bathroom and so on before letting him back out to play. Is it normal that he sleeps so much for his age?
2. I worry that he is sick because he is sleeping so much and sometimes acts odd. He breaths really fast at times and he will just sit around with his eyes opened but glazed over at times. I can’t tell if he is just sleeping or tired or if there is a need for concern since I don’t know really what to look for as signs of being sick. He is eating, drinking, and going to the bathroom pretty often and he does get up and explore for a few minutes at a time every so often, hoping around and all. He likes to lay in a plush baby blanket on or near me, could he be overheating?
3. I was given the pellets that he was being fed upon bringing him home and told to slowly switch him if I wanted to change his diet. I have heard that fresh vegetables and hay combined are the best food for them. Should I try to scratch the pellets all together over time or do I let him have them since he seems to like them? I tried to give him some lettuce today (started out plain with romaine) but he was not the least bit interested. Is there a better way to get him to eat his veggies?
4. He loved to dig and pull at things! He will sleep soundly but when he wakes up and explores he will pull at the carpet, towels, his blanket, my clothes, everything! I have given him toys like cardboard boxes, paper towel roll full of hay, baby keys, and some other things but he is only interested in pulling at the fabric. I am afraid that he is going to pull up pieces and swallow them which I can’t imagine is good. I was wondering if there is a reason he may be doing that other than instincts and if there are any good ways to discourage it and keep him safe from the strings.
5. I am planning on getting him neutered when he is of age in a few months but I would like to start litter box training him sooner rather than later. I am not sure where to start! If anyone has good tips for litter box training that would be great. Also, is it possible to litter box train them to drop pellets or is it only effective for urine?
Otherwise, if there are any tips that you think would help a new bunny owner please let me know! I have done a lot of research on proper housing, toys, care, feeding, and so on, I feel confident that we are off to a good start, but it never hurts to learn more!
