I second this. I used bowls with my mice and guinea pig, when I had them. Water bottles can get jammed and are a very uncomfortable way to stay hydrated. Bowls are more work for you, since they can get full of bedding or knocked, but I would stick to bowls.
Oh no! We'll have to be very careful to keep her away from the cats. They've brought bunnies her size into the house before. One of the reasons we'll never have outdoor cats again... Yuck!
Yes... they can be devilish little chewers! Also watch that it doesn't chew on carpet or anything with fibers... they can become impacted with any kind of fiber. Most of my bunnies lived to be 9 years old!
I used to sing that song to my little cousin over and over and over until she fell asleep. It's a great memory, especially now that we're both grown with kids!
With regards to litterbox training: rabbits pee and poo mostly while they eat. So, make sure to provide her litterbox with something like "nature's best bedding" and put a big pile of good quality hay in there. I don't know if you can get the brand: barn-i in the US? Their herbal hay is excellent. For rabbits hay is the most important part of their diet (and it should be available to them always). Besides hay you do best to feed pellets. The best pellet food momentarily available is by Supreme Science Selective. A rabbit digestive system is very sensitive so you would want to be very careful with food/changes. Besides hay and pellets you can feed greens...but start with postage stamp sizes. And wait to see if they do well on it. And then you can increase the amount. With regards to handling: in general they do not want to be picked up. They feel secure with all 4 paws on the floor. So sitting by her and letting her come to you is best. Hope you will be very happy with her and later on provide her with a mate. They really need the company of another bunny. Shelters often provide "speed dating for rabbits". It's worth it!
Tomorrow is the big day!
