Let me add a little. Most of this is personal, there can be two schools of thought. Female bunnies dig but males don't. I promise even the best are not 100% perfect at sexing young rabbits. When I got mine neutered, the vet thought one was female and called after the surgery to tell me it was a male!! Haha. My females always dug, my males never dug. My rabbits run in the chicken yard with the chickens but I would never put them in the same cage. Not only would they get poopy feet, chickens roost, so they would have poopy heads, backs, etc. I did not feed mine veggies and fruit until they were about 4 months old. Even now (they are more than a year) they get a little treat in the morning and evening. My friend Angel raises rabbits and hers are so beautiful, sweet and healthy and she starts them young, but she gives them little organic bites from her garden. Handle them often, rabbits are naturally skittish, they are purely prey animals so being skittish is necessary for survival. Feed them Timothy hay for eating and good quality pellets and always plenty of fresh water. They should never run out of those. You'll quickly see where your rabbits like to potty, they'll pick a spot. I like to put cheap regular hay on that spot to keep the ordor down and things cleaner. These are just my thoughts. Hope it helps.
I find that strange your male rabbits don't dig, 'cause mine definately do XD I think it depends on the rabbit too, I have a doe that digs like mad when she has been bred, a buck that digs tiny holes every were whenever possible, another buck that digs a bit occasionly, and a doe that never digs. Ever. Rabbits confuse me sometimes![]()

coolies!! thanks for the help!The bunny should be weaned and on rabbit pellets and hay when you get it. Hay should be the main part of a rabbit's diet, but you can feed some vegetables and small amounts of fruit to supplement. Here is a good list of okay foods http://rabbit.org/suggested-vegetables-and-fruits-for-a-rabbit-diet/ . Some rabbits and chickens do well together,some do not, you will have to monitor them and see. But beware that your bunny will probably get poopy feet if left in with chickens. And rabbits def. will dig out of a pen, so watch for that.
