Yesterday i got a rabbit! He is a house rabbit Im so excited at having my very own house bunny but i'm afraid that i'm a novice! never had a house bunny before.

Now wires are behind a portable fence so he can't get to them, he has his own cage wth a hammock which he loves He also has his food but i haven't seen him drink or urinate. Should i be worried?

He seem's bright and happy. He was terrified at the shop but has really come out of his shell. He's a curious, confident little bunny and has been racing around the room, amazed at the space. Today he is a little quieter and i wondered if maybe he is dehydrated

As long as he has water he shouldnt be dihydrated? Is he pooing and eating ok?

haha yes pee is a common thing in this house, what with 10 rats as well lol.

He drank today out of a bowl outside his cage, i had put the smallest drop of dilute juice in it as i was advised this might make him drink it. I did that last night and this morning he drank from it deeply so must have been thirsty. Silly bunny, maybe e doesn't understand that water is whathe's meant to drink o.O

I'm getting a rescue bunny tomorrow but my other half doesnt really want her roaming free in the house. She lives outside at her current abode but I'm thinking whilst it's so cold atm putting her in our empty shed and letting her run around in there, bringin her in the house when we're here to watch her and then in the summer she can go in the garden.

Does anyone else have an outdoors bunny??

maybe not, but just tired from all the excitement, maybe someone here would be of better help!

If she lives outside already it would be far too much of a temp shock to bring her indoors. The shed sounds like a good idea, i have four outdoor bunnies currently living in a hutch/run in a stable! Both pairs will have their own kennel buy the end of march just makesure you give her lots of hay to snuggle into and water.

Thanks crofty

And i'll look into nuetering too, we've had loads of pets over the years and we've always gone to the same vets so I trust he'll do a good job, I just dont like the idea of the vets at pets at home, has anyone had any good or bad experiences with them??
