  Hi, I’ve had 2 house rabbits in the past but that was almost 15yrs ago. Kids got in the way and I never replaced my last one after she passed away. But we really loved having them and they were free roaming when we got home from work each day. I don’t think these will be free roaming though…too many cords to chew and nice wood furniture
  
  Now I’m a guinea pig person and my son decided he wanted a rabbit. He’s 12 and has wanted one for about a year so he’s been learning and reading lots of info. Today was the big day for him!
  
  He adopted a bonded pr of Lionhead rabbits named Sugar and Spice. They are adorable and supposed to be 4mos old but I think they might be a mother/daughter pr because one is larger than the other and very protective of the smaller one.
  
  We had only counted on one rabbit so need a bigger cage right off the bat. Not sure if we will do the cube route, build something, or try to add a play area onto the cage we have now.
  
  Luckily, they are litter trained but they love to eat the newspaper under the bedding-is this OK? I know they are diggers but wasn’t sure about eating the paper.
  
  I’m sure you’ll see me around a lot as I learn all over again about the bunnies along with my son.

  Newspaper is fine, as long as they don’t fill up on it and ignore their hay.
  
  Are you positive they are both female? Are they spayed? If not, you will want to get it done, as unspayed buns can get territorial, and result in the bond breaking. Better get them checked, to be sure

  Congratulations! We love pictures, I can’t wait to see them both.
  
  I agree with Monkeybun – make sure that they are spayed, and if not, get them to a vet ASAP to sex them.

  Congratulations! Getting a new bunny is very fun. It’s also good to hear that your son is also a rabbit lover.
  
  Got any pictures?
