Hi,
I'm a complete newbie to rabbits. My boyfriends aunt has kindly given us 2 of the French lops that she's bred.
They're both boys, are 6 months old and are called Diablo and Albert.
Diablo can sometimes chase Albert, so they're both going to be castrated to stop any fights as they get older.Diablo is also the piggy of the 2. He was the least friendly but after lots of grooming and the odd treat he seems to like me now! Albert on the other hand is the friendliest bunny ever that loves a cuddle and doesn't need any persuasion. He's also likely to be found chasing a willow ball round the kitchen. Before he kills it within a week.
Any top tips for a newbie? At the moment they're kept on shredded paper and have a 2 storey cage they go in whilst we're at work and have the run of the kitchen from 5-7am and again from 530-1030pm. They have hay to nibble on all the time, have rabbit Royale muesli twice a day, always have water, have willow balls, knawing blocks and treats scattered all over their cage and get groomed 3 times a week each and get cleaned out once a week. We're working on the litter training, but Diablo is struggling a bit with this! I adore these bunnies and want them to live a long, happy and healthy life with me, so any advice on how to do this would be appreciated. Who'd have thought an almost 25 year old would be getting their first pet rabbit!
