Few questions a little worried….

[Xxventanaxx]

So today is two weeks since I have had my love Lux and I couldn’t be happier. But I have a few questions as of lately.

1. I changed her cage and her fluff today from kaytee to care fresh. Is this going to be a problem? When I put her in it she seemed to just want to lay down.

2. She lays down a lot with her back legs stretched out this is good right? Is this considered flopping?

3. When she binkys does that mean she is happy?

4. Today she has been digging into my shirt when I have her on me what does this mean.

5. And how many hours a day does a 10 week old bunny usually rest / sleep?

How will I know if my rabbit is sick? Took her to the vet on Wednesday and clean bill of health.

Everything sounds fine and normal!

You mention you changed her cage and fluff. Do you have bedding everywhere or just in a litter box? Just have litter in her box, this will help her distinguish where to do her business!

Stetched out legs mean she’s very relaxed! A flop is more of a full body lay down…

Binkies signal excitement and happiness!

Digging is how they explore and learn their surroundings. As she gets older, this behavior will become hormonal and may become aggressive.

Bunnies have short bursts of energy and then they relax for a good portion of the day.

Watch for signs of illness. Not eating, not pooping, odd behavior, lethargy.

Sounds like a perfectly happy, content, relaxed, curious, little bunny 🙂 My bunnies think like this… wake up, et, drink, pee, poop, play, relax, play, relax, play, relax, sleep from 10am-6pm, eat, drink, pee, poop, play, relax, furious play with bouts of relax, nap, then wake up and start the routine all over. I leave them alone between 10am and 6pm. Durikng their sleep time, they want to be left alone. They get grumpy and hide if I try to disturb them. Their play time, morning and evening and throughout the night, is the best time to bond and cuddle. As you research and read more, you’ll find ideas for entertainment for your bunny. Digging and chewing are their top 2 past-times. Give yoru bunny safe chew toys, and digging options. This could be natural tree branches to chew, my bins prefer these to store-bought chew toys. For digging, I give them an enclosed cat litter box with play sand. I shred newspaper into inch strips and put it doen in the sleepy area. My buns hav eall liked to dig out a hollow spot to sleep in. In nature, thye woudl dig out a hollow spot, lay their bellies in the unearthed dirt, and keep cool as they sleep. When I put the shredded newspaper in their sleepy spots, they nibble, scratch and rearrange it, and that satisfies the digging need. That is helpful when you like your carpet intact…
Congrats on your new love 🙂
