Effective discipline is inextricably linked to the quality of the parent/child relationship.   You recognize that you have not bonded well with your daughter, harbor strong negative feelings towards her, there is conflict with...

You went to a responsible shelter and I am happy to hear of the rules they enforced.   I am impressed that you came here to find out more and strongly encourage you to educate yourself regarding rabbit pet...

Okay. I just re-read the dimensions of the cage. That is a really small cage. She is a baby so I know she is small too, but I have litter boxes that size! How big is the litter box inside the cage? It might be that the cage is just so...
