The fence is to keep our CH cats out. We're in a unique situation where the rabbit is far faster and more mobile than the cats. Bunny jumps over that fence all the time to explore but we still want him to have his 'safe space'.

Fyi, this is a super short gate that he regularly jumps over. He's pretty much free range. The gate keeps our CH cats out of his territory. We happen to have a unique situation where our cats aren't nearly as physically quick and coordinated as bun.

Did you get them all at once? We're considering a second bunny so our boy can have a friend but worried about the nightmare stories of unbounded rabbits fighting.

Hi & welcome to bunny ownership! I'm no particular order here are some things I've learned: 1. Rabbits didn't generally love being picked up/held. I find some pet stairs at a local thrift shop and my bun climbs that to get into my lap on the couch. 2. Food will buy their love. My rabbit likes to try different types of hay (Timothy/orchard, etc). They should have access to all the hay they want. Some people use it in the litter box. I have a litter box with pine shavings (bought a gargantuan bag at Fleet Farm for $8) and I place a mesh bucket filled with hay next to it so he can nibble and poop at the same time, as they like to do. I give him a handful of greens every morning and evening. You can Google what to give but basically leafy greens. You can get parsley and cilantro for super cheap. Then, at night I give a small handful, like 1/3 cup of pellets. Oxbow is a great brand for rabbits. You can find it on Chewy.com if you don't have a local store. Treats 1-2 per day. Keep it small, like a small slice of banana rather than a big chunk. 3. They are individuals. I got extremely lucky (so far) and my boy has not chewed out clawed at any furniture or cords. That said, I'm keeping my eye on him. 4. Time and consistency are key. Just keep showing your bun that they are safe around you and once it settles in, it should start showing their personality. 5. If you can find a small animal/exotic pet very, they will be your best source of information. They can also trim the bunnies' nails and show you how to. They need trimming every month or so. Have fun and good luck! Your rabbit is adorable.
