bunny diet

Question
i just got a bunny by surprise so i looked up info i chopped it little pieces of carrots and it ate it in one night and its a baby it hasn't pooped yet but i don't understand what cecal pills are for and right now it lives in a box that is kind of small and when we gave him a big box it somehow climbed out. Please tell me if its going be okay like this until i buy her supplies?

Answer
Dear Paola,

She'll need more than carrots, of course.  Here's a good overview of a healthy rabbit diet:

So get off to the store to get the right kind of pellets (NO colored bits!) and grass hay for her as soon as possible.

For all the best information on rabbit care, start here:

If this is a little baby, please read this vital information, in case you see any sign of runny stool:

Good luck with your new pal!
