Welcome to BB! We recently started a new welcome thread, so definitely feel free to create an introduction there are as well with other newcomers! It is important to have Smokey (cute name) looked by a rabbit/exotic vet, so finding one in your area is a high priority right now.

Looking forward to your future posts!

Welcome
Definitely check out the diet and general info sections of the website to know how to best care and feed your new little friend. I also agree with Wick, that with any new animal, it’s best to get them seen by a vet. As Wick said, it will need to be a rabbit/exotic vet, as a normal vet for dogs/cats won’t really know how to offer treatment and care to bunnies. If you post a picture we might be able to give you some insight as to what breed your bun might be. This will come in handy for knowing what things to be cautious about, weight to maintain, and amount of food to be given (also determined by weight).

Congrats on your new bunny!

You should definitely check out the sections on rabbit care, diet, housing, etc – https://binkybunny.com/BUNNYINFO/tabid/53/Default.aspx
This will answer most of your questions concerning owning a rabbit.

I currently own a male neutered rabbit who lives in my room (free roam) with three of my cats, so it is possible for rabbits to co-exist with other animals. However, this isn’t something you should attempt without total supervision at first. Remember that cats are in nature predators and rabbits are prey.

Hope this helps!

Congrats on the new bunny! Smokey sounds like he got lucky with you we would love to see a photo!

If you could tell us a bit more about his diet and housing we might be able to give you some pointers specifically for your situation

But otherwise, the most important and generally overlooked things for bunnies are: (I’m not saying you don’t know these things, just that these are common misconceptions about bunnies!)

– their diet should be 90% grass hay
– carrots are a treat, not a diet staple!
– they need lots of space to hop around in
– they are social animals and need lots of interaction
– they need access to specialist rabbit or ‘exotic’ vets
– they can get bored easily, so it’s important to give them things to play with and change their environment (easily done with cardboard boxes with two holes cut in them, for example)
