My bunnies LOVE to tear up the newspaper...there's just something so exciting for them when they tug and hear that tearing sound. So I'm wondering if she is really eating the newspaper or merely tearing it up. My bunny specialist vet said it is OK for the bunny to eat "a little" newspaper" but not "a lot".....course she never said what a little is and what a lot is either.

Be VERY careful about the bedding you buy. Pine and cedar shavings are VERY Bad for bunnies (actually ALL small animals including hamsters and gerbils, rats, etc) even though the pet suppliers supposedly manufacture the shavings for them. Recent research has shown that something in the bunnies urine mixes with something in the wood shavings and produces a cancer-causing gas, usually to the liver. See House Rabbit Soc web site, rabbit.org, litter.

Also the smallest the "cage" should be is FOUR times the size of the bunny when she lays down flat with her legs extended behind here....so that would be from the tip of her cute little nose
all the way back to her toes. In fact House Rabbit Soc no longer recommends cages but "puppy pens" instead. These portable fences give any bunny considerably much more room to exercise in (as opposed to getting no exercise in a cage) and they are less expensive. You would need to have a pieces of scrap lineolium or one of those chair mats that are used in offices underneath desks to protect your floor or carpet. The mat/lineolium can then have a an old sheet put on top of it to help the bunny get her footing as she moves around. Another big plus is that you eliminate the metal grid in the bottom of most cages --that grid will eventually cut up the bunnies tender feet and lead to a serious condition and possible infection (if not caught in time) called sore hocks. A bunny only has her skin, fur to protect the feet and the weight of her bones pressing the feet into the wire can lead to serious consequences. Also, another great thing about using a puppy pen instead is that it is portable, so you can take it anywhere.

So glad to see you are making progress with getting Floppsy moved inside. Keep up the good work.
