Question
Hello, I just bought a beautiful gray-brindle six week old female mini rex bunnie, she in now exploring her cage. How long should I wait until I hold her? how do you tame a rabbit? and at what age should I get her spayed?

Thank you for your help in advance.

Answer
hi -start picking her up everyday and start grooming her, do this often and she will get used to you and become tame.
if your not going to breed her and not going to have a male I would not have her spayed , but if you get a male she needs spaying at about 3 months old.
