Hi just thought I’d introduce myself
I’m Hayley and I’m 34 I’ve been an animal lover always and I currently have 7 cats and 10 fish, anyway I haven’t had a bunny since I was a kid but about a month ago I bought an adorable male lop eared who was 12 weeks old and gorgeous we’ve called him Bubbles he’s an energetic little man who’s very lively and knows exactly what he wants, we also bought a big 2 tiered cage for him even though my intention is for him to be a mostly indoor rabbit except at night times as rabbits seem quite sociable and I didn’t want him to be lonely at night so this week we went and bought a female lop eared who we’ve named Fudge, she’s completely opposite from bubbles, she’s quiet happy to curl up on my lap for hours and is generally a shy sweet bunny. We got them from from the same store and was told she was 18 weeks but I can’t see this being possible as Bubbles is now 18 weeks and he’s almost double her size anyway I was expecting a bit of dislike for each other to start with but within seconds of him seeing her on my lap he was frantically trying to hump her but ended up humping my arm instead lol obviously I separated them and while they’re not indoors under my watchful eye I’ve had to put the devider down on the cage so they have their own floor each. Bubbles has had his mexi jab and Fudge is booked in for hers this Thursday and Bubbles is booked in to be neutered this Friday so hopefully after that they can both have full run of the cage at night and become great friends, also I’m planning on having Fudge neutered as I’ve read females have an 80% chance of uterine cancer by the age of 5 if not done, anyway that’s my story and how I ended up on this site I would love to add some piccies of my babies but not sure how to post them :-/

They sound adorable. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to get Bubbles neutered as well, but yes, good that you’re getting Fudge neutered soon. You definitely want to keep them separated until then – they don’t say “breeds like rabbits” for nothing!! 
I can’t believe I’ve gone so mushy over bunnies as I’ve always been the mad cat lady 😀 I so wish I’d gotten bunnies way before now also wish I had a bigger house as I’d get a whole load more ickle bunny rabbits
