Hi, i am getting a bunny on Friday and I was just wonderng if you guys have anymore info for me. I am not sure of the gender because th bunny is a rescue. For anybody who wants to know the story, here it is. The bunny was at a market sitting an a tiny dirty cage shaking in the corner. It is only 7 weeks old and was taken away from its mother to early. All of its siblings died. This wonderful kind lady saw it there and knew she couldnt leave it. She bought the bunny and her and her husband bought a very large cage, food, hay, bedding toys etc. Now she is giving the bunny to me on Friday for free. She said that the money isnt important. She is just glad that she was able to rescue the bunny. I know lots and lots about bunnies, but since i have never owned one before, and extra tips would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. Any info is accepted!!:)
The first thing to consider is that rabbits have a long life span, so be prepared to care for your pet rabbit through the long term. They are also unique creatures, who form tight bonds with their families, though they have some quirks you should know about. They also require some routine vet care from a good rabbit vet, and are not low maintenance pets. If you are prepared for all the unique qualities and needs of rabbits, you will best be able to fully enjoy the wonderful companionship they can offer .

A cage that is large enough is important for the well-being of your pet rabbit, but is is no substitute for exercise and social time out of the cage.
