Hello Everyone,

We wanted to take this opportunity to introduce ourselves. 

My names Kirstie and I am the proud mummy of Stanley a gorgous 3month+ old dwarf lop.  I adopted him about 4 weeks ago, as he is still a baby he hasn’t yet been spayed but this is on the radar when he gets older.

He is a cheeky little chappy with quite a snuggly side, he does have a few bad traits which i could do with some advice on (I’ll talk about that in another post).

I have never had rabits before so this is all new to me any advice would be welcomed.  I wanted a pet that was sociable and likes to have a little cuddle now and again and a friend suggested a rabit, he is the perfect companion I’m so pleased he’s come into my life.

That’s all for now, bye x

Welcome Kirstie and Stanley!!

First off,you should have hay all the time.Since he’s still a baby,Alfalfa hay would be fine.But once he gets older,you should transition him to Timothy or Orchard Grass Hay.You should also have high quality pellets for him.My bunnies are still babies and I give the Oxbow Bunny Basics 15/23 which is alfalfa based(good for growing bunnies).Stanley might be too young for veggies.He needs fresh water everyday too.You can refer to Bunny Info page for more details about raising your bunny.

You should also have a place for him.Like a condo.Make sure he can move around in it.

About litter training,Binky Bunny forum will help you a lot about this.Give him a litterbox.The basic cat litter box will do.Put some litter bedding in it.I use Carefresh on mine since its really good at controlling odor.Put hay in one corner since bunnies like to eat and do their business at the same time.Confine him in a small place for now until he learns to use his litter box.

I’ll leave the rest to the others.

Again,welcome!!post some pics of Stanley if u you could.

Hi there!

I’m also new to bunnies. We got our first, Oliver, who is also a Mini Lop, last Sunday. I’m sure you’ve already realized how amazing these little critters are. What color is Stanley? I’d love to see a pic of him… his name is adorable, LOL. <3

Welcome!

welcome!

pics are very welcome

each rabbit has its own personality so dont be shocked if once he reaches “bunny puberty” if he doesn’t want to cuddle. most bunnies don’t like to be picked up and/or cuddled. your very fortunate to have one that allows it he’ll get snatched quiqkly
