It is always a great idea to take any new pet to see a veterinarian if at all possible. They can examine your bunny and make sure there are no health concerns - no skin parasites, good teeth and nails etc. They can also discuss husbandry and make sure you are feeding the most appropriate diet, and have a good housing set up. They may also recommend having your bunny spayed when she is a little bigger and older to keep her as healthy as possible. Congrats on your new bunny!!
