YES! Anything named after me gets you slapped if you sell them xD Feel free to eat Chandler bun though!

Thanks LeiaWolfe! She's pretty sweet too lol.


In exciting news! My Rex doe had her kits today! So far just 3, I'm not sure if she's done or not since she still seems big and I think I can feel another (I'm not great at palpating though!)

She's a first timer, so we are having a couple issues, but I'm keeping a close eye on them to make sure everything runs smoothly.


Aww! Too bad I'm not allowed to breed my bunny.. :( I would LOVE to though! (My bun is currently locking my finger lol) Aww....

Also. A question: My bunny... She runs around for a play in the living room, (areas blocked off where she shouldn't be, but still supervised.), but I feel like she might be eating the carpet? I'm not expecting this to be good for her....

Honestly, there are PLENTY of rabbits that are bred and plenty waiting to be adopted so don't at ALL feel like yku need to breed yours. As for carpet, just make sure she is supervised and make sur eyou supply her with appropriate things to chew on - having her hay accessible for example, as well as some safe types of wood maybe, a cardboard box as a house..

No problem!! My house rabbit is turning 9 this year and while she does still occasionally chew on things, I've mostly learned how to prevent it. I block off areas I don't want her to access (like under my bed), I keep cords off the floor, I provide her with appropriate chewing things.. Plus, it'd good motivation to keep your living space picked up! She does pull at the carpet every once in a while but she gets scolded and Imve never seen any visible damage or signs of her ingesting any of it, so I'm not overly worried.

If you have Instagram there are a TON of rabbit accounts! They can be handy for toy ideas and seeing what indoor homes other house buns have.

I found this and it seems really nice. I breed standard chins and my brother breeds flemish giants. Me and my brother are also in 4h.

This is an excellent website with a lot of great resources. I linked to the page of veggies - they can eat a lot of different things, and it will also tell you what is bad for them. If you explore the website you can also get advice on how to litterbox train them, bonding them if you get another bunny friend, ideas for cages/pens/condos for them to live in, and more!

http://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables- ... bbit-diet/

And yep; it can be a lot of work sometimes but eventually you will have a good routine with your bunny of when you feed her and making sure to let her out to run around a lot. Every day when I get home from work I let my rabbit out until I go to bed - being stuck in a cage all day is like being stuck in a bedroom all day, not even a whole house! They need plenty of space to run and explore - it's good for their muscles and good for their minds. You can also look on Youtube to get ideas from other people; some people will do cage tours, show you how to make easy toys, and more.

Wow, I learnt a lot on this! I do occasionally go onto that website. :)

My bunny has been litter training for about 2 weeks or less now, and doing well on it :)
