I'm going to pick up my rabbits tomorrow. I'm so excited to finally get this started.
I'm getting a trio of NZW's from a guy that works at my local coop feed store. I was hoping to get a californian as well but there aren't any available. So I guess I'll get started with the NZW and grab a californian later on.
He said they are quite young(around 5lbs) and aren't breeding age yet, but I figured that would be fine as it would give me a chance to get used them(I've never owned rabbits before).
Any advice on how best to introduce them to their new environment and get them acquainted with me? Anything I should put in the cage right away(toys, hay, straw, salt licks) or is it better to leave it empty? I also have a watering system with the tubes and watering nipples, is there anything special I should do to let the rabbits know where to get water from?
Any tips would be appreciated
Thanks
