It's a good idea to take her to the vet, at least to get a look at and make sure she's healthy. You need a good-size cage (bigger then a guinea pig cage), bedding (pine chips, etc.), food bowl and water bottle to drink out of. You also need a house for her to sleep in that will comfortably fit in her cage. Rabbits need to chew on things to keep their teeth from getting too long, check out your local pet store and see what they offer to chew on, wood blocks and things like that are good. They require at least the rabbit pellets you can buy at pet stores or some grocery stores, fruits and vegetables (see link below to start research), timothy hay, and fresh water everyday. They like exercise so you should set up a place for her to run around in (preferably inside, where she can be watched and away from other animals). We always put up baby gates to enclose our rabbits in a certain area. They can be litter trained, that may take time but naturally rabbits go to the bathroom in corners - you can get corner litter boxes at a petstore and set them in the corners of where she plays (use same bedding as in cage). If you want to use different litter you can also place the litter box in the corner she likes to use in her cage so she relates it to going to the bathroom. Research reputable sites for rabbit care to help.

The best information is on this website www.rabbit.org
It will tell you what to feed your rabbit. You should have some rabbit food from the petshop or supermarket. You should take her to the vet but i am not sure at what age so you should call the vet. She should have her shots and get desexed.

I would advise you so strongly to take her to your vet and get her the mixi vaccination its not 100% but it may protect her its so important, ask your vet about mixi what to look out for also de-flea her, you can get the stuff from your vet when you take her for her mixi jab. I've owned rabbits since i was tiny now nearly 21 i have just had to have one of my two beautiful lops put to rest as she got mixi i knew straight away i had molly my now only lop vaccinated.If you can find out what she was eating before you got her this will help prevent tummy upsets also don't feed veg till 12 weeks clean her out every week and try disinfect everything with a rabbit safe disinfectant, fresh water and hay everyday.If you can try clean out more often in summer as flies lay their eggs in the hutches which then means you get maggots which can infest you bunny (you'll know she's ok if you check her bottom make sure she's clean if not luke warm water and cotton wool) and make sure her claws don't get long your vet can trim them for you when she needs them doing. :-D

I had a dwarf rabbit for 10 years! They're the best pets!! They eat just regular rabbit food that you get at your local pet shop. But they also love carrots, apples, celrey....ect.... I think the most important thing you need to do to make Pancakes happy, is GIVE HER LOTS OF LOVE! SPEND AT LEAST 30 MINS A DAY HOLDING HER AND PETTING HER. THIS WILL MAKE HER USED TO PEOPLE AND TO BE CALM AROUND THEM. HAVE FUN AND REMEBER TO BE NICE TO ANIMALS:o)

You can go to a petstore and find her some bunny food. I would take her to a vet and make sure she has all of her shots so you don't end up getting sick because of any diseases she may carry.
Keep track of her size though.. I had 2 dwarf rabbits and they ended up getting HUGE!

You should have know all of this before you got the rabbit. You can take it to the vet to get spayed/neutered and to get its nails trimmed. You can also go for check-ups. And just go to the pet store and get rabbit food and timothy hay. Also spinich, carrots, pineapple, and tomatoes are good treats. Go online to check whenever you feed your rabbit fruits and veggies, some are toxic to rabbits and they could die if they eat them.

You should have looked into how to care for rabbits BEFORE getting one!
