Thanks.
What bedding should I use?

I can help with that!

If you check out my article, about guinea pigs, there's a list of beddings with their pros and cons.

Most of the things in my article also apply to rabbits, so, hopefully, it can help you. :3

Oh yeah, I think I remember you saying you had to give him away? Correct me if I'm wrong. XD
I have a bunch of tips:

- Give them lots of space to roam, don't isolate them to a hutch.
- Give them space to burrow, but make sure they don't escape.
- Don't use this food:

The rabbits will become picky and only eat the high sugar pieces, making them obese (it's happened to me before). Instead, feed pellets.
- Visit them often, let them associate you with food and healthy treats (don't feed rabbits seed, that makes them fat). Then, they'll come for cuddles.
- Always keep more than one water bottle attached to the cage/hutch/run, to prevent dehydration.
- Always, always, make sure your rabbits have hay. It's bedding and helps them keep their teeth in check.
- Make sure you don't have any poisonous plants around, I guarantee the rabbits will try to eat them (even though, most of the time, they know better).
- Check daily for illnesses. Just to be safe.

I think that's most of the important stuff. If you need help, I'll always be happy to help you! ^-^

Yeah. His owner named him Bucky so I was very happy.

A bit smaller than our old place, but even prettier IMO. So many gorgeous oaks!! They're massive!

70s, but we've got a nice breeze

New house? I am moving too!
My new place is a remote farm nestled in a scenic valley. It has tons of fields for my horses to run around in.
Unfortunately, I am only renting it.....

Cool! Yep, just moved!

I am getting rabbits around easter. Any tips?

I used to have four mini lops. They loved to chew on aspen branches that were still green and pliable.

Aww

I use to have one of those!!! His name was D.O.A.S (pronounced like dough   as) because of the Doctor Who episode Dinosaurs on a Spaceship.
