Evening all,
Three days ago, my girlfriend and I purchased two bunnies (approx 9 weeks old). They're female, not related but very friendly with one another. They're also indoor bunnies, in which we have the cage in the living room (they're let out from the cage more often than in).
I've ensured to give them ots of access to hay, pellets and water...but I have some concerns I'm hoping could be answered (I have a couple, and can't find answers on this forum or things like YouTube)...
1.) Are they okay in the living room? This might read strangely, but I wonder whether the radio or people being around more often than not will stress them out? As a side note, we sleep normal hours so don't keep them awake at night or anything.
2.) When we got them, the one has lop ears, the other not. Since the first night, the one with regular ears (sorry if I'm being incredibly uneducated with this description of ears) has now got/had for the last few days, drooped tips of the ears, almost like an upside-down J. Is this normal?
3.) I haven't tried too much to handle or pet them, as I thought it would be best to let them settle. I've read conflicting things on the net...but whenever I've tried to stroke either of them, to the point where I'm literally as low to the ground as I can get, they still scurry off. They do however eat out of my hand, jump over my legs when I'm sitting on the floor, and generally come up and sniff and nudge my feet. Is this also normal?
Really hoping anyone can help!
