Yes I am getting them vaccinated & etc got to get xeno anyway as I think she's got fleas. Probably panacur her too.
The hutch has also got insect netting over the mesh to keep the nasty flies out.
I would wait and get her spayed first then introduce a neutered male on neutral gorund for them to bond. Also please dont let your bun free range without supervision, theres birds of prey (buzzards even take piglets so a rabbit is nothing) foxes still hunt in the day and then theres cats. Get them a secured run for when you cant supervise. If your girlie is a french xdwarf she'll grow quite big, a shed or playhouse converted would be better than a hutch and certainly the smallest hutch she should have is a 6ftx2ftx2ft

Re: why cant rabbits eat grass when they would eat it in wild

She's 10weeks old & the size of my cats already I owned dwarf lops before which mixed with my cats fine I'm In a built up area with a brick wall around the whole garden and 2 large dogs! She wouldn't be left out at night & my dogs don't allow strange cats in my garden. I'm not an invalid I've been & worked around animals all my life & being an adult don't need advising about neutering thank you, when she's old enough she will be spayed. I hate seeing animals caged in all the time, I want her to be able to be free and do what comes naturally to her. I've thoroughly researched her breed but just wanted to know about the grass thing as everywhere is read was talking about keeping them enclosed in a hutch, I just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be making her ill by letting her eat all she wants of grass.

Re: why cant rabbits eat grass when they would eat it in wild

My rabbit lives on grass all year round [except in snow] and he's healthy as anything. My last rabbit lived on grass its whole life and lived to the ripe old age of 11 , they LOVE grass , mine were never keen on hay unless they don't have grass
