I need some tips from anyone else with rabbits. We got us two of them last week and any helpful hints on them would be nice.

what kind of advise are you looking for? You need to feed a goof rabbit food and maybe some hay cubes and water them daily. give them play time and some wood to chew on to keep their teeth healthy will be good to.

All wire cages!!!!!!! (Under shelter of course) Water at ALL times. Flip top water bottles in non freezing temp. Small bottom larger top no tip chocks in freezing temp. Two food cups (self feeders or no tip crocks) one for food the other for treats (oat meal, little corn and such) a soft slicker or hair brush. Toe nail clippers.
Are you planning on breeding them? What kind are they?

I hope their not caged together. Two males in one cage is asking for trouble. Once they hit maturity they will be fighting all the time unless you have them both neutered (which would also help prevet spraying which is very smelly).
Give them unlimited pellets, unlimited water and unlimited timothy hay, if they are babies I would recommend Alfalfa until they are about 5 or 6 months old. For a snack their favorites are carrots, cucumbers, apples, corn on the cob (just throw a whole one in there) and kale. I wouldnt go overboard with the fruits and veggies though or they will have loose stools. But I think its fun to give them a variety of snacks. A wood hidey house is a good idea and would serve two purposes because they could chew down their teeth on it. A rabbits teeth never stop growing so they need a way to keep them short (wood and hay).
Good luck with your new babies!

Thanks. They are seperated. I didn't know that about the teeth. We are building a bigger pen for them. What wire is best?

Powder coated wire would be best for the floor of the hutch. This way their pads dont get sore or cut. In my hutch that had wire flooring, I gave my rabbits a carpet sample or rug to lie on.
As long as the wire holes (actually squares) are small enough that their legs dont fall through you will be okay.

Afterthought....Oats will make the male horney. LOL So he will spray more if hes not neutered. You can give cheerioes too, or any unsweetened bran type cereal.

What age do they have to be for neutering? These are just babes.
