  I brought home two 9 week old Holland lops yest. I had built them an enclosure using the storage squares and zip ties . I made them two squares high and both babies got out. My problem is that they ate some dill and parsley I had been growing for them to eat when they get bigger. Do you think they are ok? I am heading out first thing to buy more cubes to make their enclosure taller.

  They will probably be fine. The HRS says to introduce vegs at 12 weeks, but many buns get greens while they’re still with their mums, so it’s not like vegs are poison. Keep an eye on output.
  
  Rabbits are really good at getting out.

  They should be okay. Hay will keep their digestive tract in good order, so hopefully they are good hay eaters.
  
  It sounds like you are housing them together. Even if they are the same gender and there is no chance of pregnancy, you will need to separate them in 2 or 3 weeks when they begin entering puberty. With puberty, can come territorial feelings and aggression and that can lead to fighting and injuries. Plus, you can’t always count on rabbits being correctly sexed. Even vets sometimes get that wrong. So, to prevent any fighting or any litters, they will have to be housed separately soon.
  
  I hope that the taller enclosure will keep the little escape artists in!
