We recently acquired a rabbit; this is very unlike me, I usually like to research things very well before I bring them home (just ask my husband, haha). I went to get a 2nd guinea pig as a "rescue" from a friend, and came home with both. Call me sucker.
In any case -- we have it in a temporary cage for now, but knowing full well that it will grow out of this home soon (it's only 6 wks old. It is a dutch and I saw the mother, so I have a good idea of how big it will get -- we're not talking humongobunny here, but nonetheless, the current cage won't be adequate.) What the heck do we need? And is this bunny going to go nuts by itself? I got the 2nd pig because I thought (a) it was a good thing to do, to give this pig a home, and (b) our piggie seemed so lonely. (Tonight our pig has given me dirty looks, though -- maybe I was wrong?) I have read that rabbits like to be groomed... is that something we as humans can provide enough of to keep her happy? As for food -- We have loads of fresh Timothy (we have that shipped to our home for the pig). What else do I need? And what foods to avoid? I mean, I know what veggies I can feed a pig, and what not to feed them -- what about with a rabbit? And how much play time does a rabbit need? How big of a cage? How many floors? How much bedding in the cage? I think we probably overkill with bedding / litter in our piggie cage -- what does a rabbit require?
We let this little bandit loose in our house tonight -- she's a ball of hoppin fur, I tell ya. The pigs would see her zip past and thought she was possesed. But again I digress.
SO WHAT DO I NEED? What are the basics in (a) cages (b) bedding (c) food (d) things I should know and sadly do not? She will have her own cage, separate from the pigs, so as to keep their diets separate.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!
