Hi everyone, new to the forum
Have just adopted a mini lop (who isnt so mini!) she's 7 months old and her name is Peaches.
I was told by the previous owners that she was very nervous when being picked up, and when i initially went to see her she hissed at me when i put my hand in the hutch. Anyway, got her home, she was fine when i picked her out of the travel box to put her in her cage (she was an outdoor rabbit but I will be keeping her as a house bunny) but she's too big for the bed compartment in the hutch! so much for mini lop lol. She's just growled at me (I think) when i put my hand in her cage to put her mineral lick in and im just wondering if there is anything I can do to make her feel more at home? She also has a really fatty pouch underneath her neck, is this normal?
Thankyou for any replies! x
