Still nameless but we're working on it. They went into the hutch nicely but haven't ventured down the ramp yet, been home around 2hours now. Had a quiet peek and they have had some food and are moving about having a good sniff. Here's a good pic taken in the shop before they got boxed up...

Squeeeeeeeee! They're gorgeous. I luffs them too.
They don't just need real life names, they need MN names too

Aww lovely rabbits (I'm not a bunny keeper, I know nought about them either )
Are they male/female or both same?
YY to the MN names - essential 
I wouldn't worry about them not venturing , as long as they have plenty of hay and access to water they'll settle in time.
that rabbits can be litter trained unlike messy piggies.

70is we have one of each. They will get neutered as soon as they are of age!
Fernie when I went out to close the door to the hutch girl bun was on the ground . I gave it another 15 mins and when I went back out she had gone upstairs herself - clever girl! She is def braver than her brother who is mostly hanging at the back of the hutch with the occasional sniff at the window. Hopefully tomorrow she'll convince him to explore more.
I've seen the girl having water but not the boy although he is def munching food and hay. Funnily enough I've not seen the girl eating food, only hay. I have tried to keep away as much as possible though. However, I noticed a few poos scattered close together and a little away from that there was a couple of longer thin poos, a bit squashed looking. I'm not sure if this is actually squashed poo or a tummy upset. Will keep an eye out tomorrow. DH says he wishes he had as much attention as the buns are having what with all the reading etc I've been doing and getting the hutch kitted out etc

This is a lovely subject at lunchtime 
but bunnies produce two kinds of poo. There's the round dry pellets which are the most frequently produced and also they do softer longer poos which they sometimes eat (perfectly normal and a healthy thing for a bunny to do). Once you've had them a little while you'll get used to the poo and will be able to spot anything abnormal. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the poo as its a good indication of health, even if it makes you seem weirdly obsessive.
Well done girlie bun for venturing down the ramp. Come on brother bun, where's your sense of adventure?

Just a little update - their names are Dasher (buck) and Clover (doe)
Both happily exploring the whole hutch and run now. I bought a smaller litter tray yesterday cos my original was too big and there are already poos in it! Will make cleaning a bit easier although they are still using another area as a toilet and I'm not sure how to stop this. There are random poos scattered about too but pee seems to be focused in two areas, one of which now has the tray in. Does this all sound ok?
