I just got my first baby bunny today! I bought her from a really nice breeder for $65. She is a sable point holland lop doe. We are still working on names. She is at least 7 weeks old :)

Can I take her outside in the grass and let her play around?
What should I feed her?
Should she be on wire?
Should she be drinking from a water bottle or bowl?
When can I start feeding her treats?
Can she be in with my nurtured buck?
Anyone name suggestions?
When should I start breeding her?
Should she be left outside at night when it is cold?
Can you please leave some tips too?
 
she is probably to young to play outside. If she has never been outside before and eats grass she could get the runs. At that age i think they only get store pellets and hay. The breeder should have told you which brand she/he uses for his rabbits. so you can get that brand. being one wire will be fine. water bottle or bowl doesn't really matter. I use a bottle since my rabbits like to flip bowls over. she won't be breeding age until around 6months old. not an good idea to house her and the buck together. you might be able to gradually introduce them. they could possibly become a bonded pair. but if you are going to use her for breeding then best to keep them separate. My two does are housed together. they are a bonded pair of sisters. But when I breed them they will have to start being in separate cages.
