Young Bun
So after a few months of baptism-by-fire fat pack bunny furniture, reading, getting confused, reading some more, searching around for people with bunnies, identifying allergies, contradictory advice of every possible variety and random bouts of "We're going to need more stuff."/"Why do we have so much stuff?! How can two fluffy little beings with minds of their own require so much... ok, we need the stuff." attacks we've arranged to pick up the bunnies tomorrow.
So I'm panicking. Because questions like "What if they hate me?" (I have sat with them and they didn't seem to hate me... my dad on the other hand got mugged by a cat when he declined 'I would like some stroking now' type vibes. Jumped from a standing start up to a good five and a half foot up on my dad's chest, but I digress) and "Hang on, 80 - 90% of their diet is hay... but how much is the diet? Do I just keep putting it in until I can't find the bunnies any more?" have started occurring in my brain.
Um. So what would your top tip for a new to the whole looking after bunnies thing be? And any ideas on how I can help them settle in? And eventually maybe some stroking? (I've had a cuddle with each of them but they don't usually get all the socialisation in the world because there are everything from hamsters and budgies to horses and dogs the size of horses, so they're sort of... well, they said they used to be very good at being handled but they don't often get that without a vet being involved or something, I was kind of focussing on not hurting him at the time.)
Basically... help? Please? Thank you for reading this far, I get a bit weird and rambly and that is why I shall shut up now. And thank you again. Ok, now I'll shut up.
