Welcome!

Welcome! She’s very cute! Mis-sexing of baby rabbits is really common, often the other way around too!

I love helicopter lops, they seem to be very expressive with their ears! I’m not as great with the breed guessing, but a lop mix is a good guess. 🙂 At 7 months she prob won’t get too much bigger, but may start to fill out a little.

That sounds like a productive bonding session!

Nipping and humping are all normal parts of them sorting out dominance. Here’s a quick “cheat” sheet of what to allow. In early sessions, I tend to err on the side of too much intervention until I get a sense of which behaviors are likely to escalate to a full fight.
