Reddit reviews AmazonBasics Foldable Metal Pet Dog Exercise Fence Pen - 60 x 60 x 30 Inches

This rabbit can't be left in the wild, so good on you for rescuing it! Someone dumped it for sure.

If you're going to keep the rabbit, it can be housed in an x-pen. A rabbit this size can't be kept in a cage or hutch; that's too small and it might become aggressive.

x-pen:

Rabbits must have hay at all times. You'll have to provide it with a constant, endless supply of high quality timothy hay. This is their main diet. The links I'm sending you are examples of course - you can source your hay from anywhere, it just has to be good stuff. This rabbit looks like it's old enough that it doesn't need alfalfa hay.

It can drink water from a bowl. I got my rabbit just a regular, big heavy crock like for dogs.

Rabbits need a litter box. Not the triangle kind though. You put the hay in the litter box, and the rabbit will naturally pee and poop there. I use this for their litter because it's cheap:

Rabbit care is highly specialized! They are not easy maintenance pets but I happen to love 'em to bits, they have such funny little personalities.

I love Kong brand. Kong has toys that are really tough to chew through, not to mention the original Kong you can stuff treats into is pretty much indestructible. My puppy had an abscessed tooth and she couldn't chew anything for a few weeks so Kongs saved our sanity, not to mention this licky mat. You can smear peanut butter on it, soft dog food, spray cheese etc. It was a lifesaver. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GJWCJST/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_j7WWDbZV9ASNZ

We got the Amazon basics crate and it works well. We also got an Amazon basics play pen that has worked wonders https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0758CTVVR/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_j3WWDbSB2W7AJ

I don't have a brand name, but make sure you get dog beds where the cover zips off for easy cleaning. I did not do that, and it has been interesting trying to potty train with a bed you can't easily clean.

I got a pack of bully sticks on Amazon recently that have been wonderful. Bully sticks are a lifesaver when you just need your pup to sit down and stop bugging you for 15 mins so you can fold a load of laundry. Bully sticks are very expressive so these were a good deal https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M93Q3CP/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_B-WWDb43SZH8P

I also recommend a martingale collar. My puppy was terrified of going outside when we first got her so she would pull out of her collar and run away. If was stressful. Martingale collars tighten as the dog pulls so they can't pull out of them

I hesitate to recommend a camera, because after the second week of using it, it was really more trouble than it was worth. Yeah, you can check on your puppy while you're at work, but if he's crying or whining you can't do anything about it but feel upset.. If you're interested, we used Wyze cams. You can get them on Amazon, they are super cheap and easy to use. I just recommend using them for the first few weeks only, otherwise your work will suffer like mine did.


Edit: I almost forgot to mention Nature's Miracle, the patron saint of carpet and floors! It eliminates the enzymes in urine so your dog doesn't keep peeing in a particular place in your house because it smells like pee. Buy stock in this company. It is that important.

Good luck!

Please keep the separate from now on until Lulu can be spayed and healed, at which point you can re-bond them.

You should never attempt to bond bunnies both of whom have not been fixed! They can seem to live together peacefully until the baby reaches puberty - hormonal age at which point all hell can break loose. Unfixed bunnies are never really bonded. The girl's hormones will continue to drive he to seek domination and the male will smell her hormones and possibly turn aggressive to, or simply come to fear the girl

Separate them now because if they have a serious fight while you are not there it could leave lasting damage and break their bond without any chance to re-bond.

​

Pick up an xpen like this for one of them to live in. You can later use it to expand their cage space, as frankly a cage is not appropriate to be locked in while you are gone.. especially for two bunnies.

I think you also said they initially had separate cages, so use those for now.

I know it might be tempting to put them together again, but trust everyone here - don't until she is spayed, the hormones will escalate things to the point of dangerous fights and until she is spayed you can't bond them.

​

And even after she is spayed you actually have to go through the process of bonding... you don't just put two bunnies together and wait for one to "eventually submit". Bonding is a process that you kind of have to follow.. I know it's not what you want to hear but it is true.
