THANK U !!!!!! I am so new that i am not sure is there a way to tell how old or could a vet tell??? Also we are headed out today to get better bunny food and some carrots and celery leaves as well as a water bottle and better food dish as well as some alfalfa cubes and some hay !!!!!!’ Just to start off and see how it goes from there , we are trying to litterbox train so that is an interesting learning experience!!!!!!

AS I TYPE THIS FLURRY IS CLIMBING ON ME AND ACTUALLY EXPLORING !!!! WHICH HE/SHE DID NOT DO YESTERDAY, BUT HE/SHE IS SO CALM AND SWEET!!!!!!

A vet can make an estimate of her age and tell you whether it’s a boy or a girl, that’s really very difficult for non-experts to see in young bunnies. It’s always good to let a vet do a check-up of a new bunny.

She looks young, and really young rabbits under the age of 12 weeks shouldn’t have any veggies at all. And when greens and veg are introduced, you should take it very slow. Give her just a small amount of one type, like romain lettuce or kale, and keep that up for a week. Then you add another green and so on and on. This is so as not to cause tummy upset in a young bun.

Alfalfa is very good for young rabbits and thay should always have plenty of hay so they can eat whenever they want. Bunny tummies must never become empty. Good brands of pellets are Oxbow and Science Selective, there are other good brands as well.

Thank u Bam i will make sure i do that and will get to a vet to talk with them and also will check the stores here to see if they carry those brands!!!!

[Flurry2015]

Went out today and got some Timothy Hay, rabbit pellets, & a large water bottle!!!!!!!

So happy for little Flurry!!!!!
He is loving it all!!!!!

[Flurry2015]

Also kcomstoc we have Flemmies running rampit around our neighborhood all are either purewhite,black&white,orwhite&liver color!!!!! If u really want one come take a walk down or alley and catch a baby!!!!!
A PIC OF FOUR OF THE WILD BUNNIES IS ON MY PROFILE IF U WISH TO SEE??????
Also the story of these bunnies is quite interesting really, the origanal bunnies were someone’s pets, a few got loose and they did so well that the owners then let the rest loose and that would of been about 6 years ago now!!!!!!

[MoxieMeadows]

I’m glad Flurry found his/her way to you. It’s kinda sad there are all those bunnies running around. =[
But anyway, if you have any questions, feel free to ask! Bam had some great advice. Welcome again!

Updated some more pics of little Flurry he is so curious and is even getting along great with my Service Dog Lucké plus i made a leash and harness for him and have taken him out to play in the grass that we still have no snow yet so will get him out and about as much as possible before snow really hits!!!!!!
