Won't the wire flooring hurt their feet? Do they have a solid area to go to to rest their tootsies?



I too think that is too young of an age. When I was younger around Easter time we would go to Pet City and I would look at bunnies. I bought two.....I was around 18 I think. I don't know what type of rabbits they were, but I knew they were not purebred.


They were just white bunnies with straight ears and VERY young. The other bunnies I ever had were adults when I got them so I didn't know anything about younger bunnies, I thought they were just like adult rabbits in their care. Boy was I wrong.


Well the first one died the next day, then the other bunnies that were sold there also died. I can only believe it was from them not being ready to live on their own. I took the body back and they told me I could exhange for another bunny.


I exchanged and got another from a different litter, a white bunny with a black ring around the eye and a cute black nose! Well, I fed the bunny some veggies and he died too! I didn't know you were not supposed to feed them greens when they were that young. I thought they were old enough to leave mom because they were in the pet store.


All the books I read said greens were fine. They didn't tell me not to feed him greens until I brought him back, then they told me! I think all Pet Stores should hand out a Caresheet just in case. I wish I would have had the internet then....don't even recall anyone who did then, but if I did I would have had a wealth of information.



It was an impulse buy and I was guilty of it. I hate Easter time for that reason, there are ducks, rabbits, and chickens being bred for people who are just like I was....wanting to buy an animal because it was "cute" and that's not a reason to get an animal. The reason should be for companionship.


I hope you keep your babies or at least sell them on contract. There are always people looking for free animals. A lot of free animals are sold to people who look honest, but a lot of those innocent pets get sold for research labs or breeding mills etc.


When I sell my rats they are all sold on contract, and the people are drilled about proper feeding and housing etc. Just make sure they really know what they are getting into and that they know how to properly handle/house/feed the animal.


I do think that maybe a solid place for your bunnies would make them happy. Are they litter box trained?


Can you tell us anymore about them? I love to see pics too, so more pics wouldn't hurt.
