I'm getting bunnies. Does and don't

Hi guys! I'm getting two lionhead bunnies on April 11th and want to ensure I have all the basics down and some tips and tricks to owning rabbits. Any advice will be great!
I've got a lionhead. He does not like to be with younger kids, and does not like to be far from his cage. He also resents being picked up, but will lick me if I scratch the right place on his back. I don't know if all lionheads are like this, he's the only bunny I've ever had. I really like him and I hope you have fun with yours!
 
Just got a bale of Timothy hay 😳 my goodness idk how long it will take these little guys to eat it 😅 got some blue seal pellets too. Now to get their cage going
You'd be surprised how much hay they can eat sometimes. :lol: Although it usually last quite a while, which is nice. In my experience my two rabbits go through phases of eating a ton of hay--so much I have to sometimes give extra during the day (I typically give them hay once in the morning and once at night) -- to barely eating any.

My lionhead is pretty grouchy and doesn't like to be picked up, either. Definitely not a cuddler. But we have also established a trust and knowledge of each other, so he can be pretty sweet to me, too. I've had him for over 8 years though. I feel like I've heard several stories before of lionheads being slightly meaner/grumpier, but I've only ever had my one so I can't speak from personal experience.

I remember helping my stepdaughter buy Timothy hay for her rabbit a year ago, she wouldn't let me buy anything but the Kay brand. Personally I like getting ten times the amount for the same price
