HI GUYS...
So here is a quick background to my question. Im asking for a friend that i have recently been helping with her rabbits. Both of my male rabbits live in two floor 2x4 C&C cages, by themselves (they don't get along). She contacted me when her rabbit gave birth to a litter of 4 babies. 2 died immediately, the other two shortly followed. Despite her separating the male (which she didn't know was a male) about an hour after she found the kits, he was able to impregnate her which led to an unwanted back to back pregnancy. Luckily, both mom and two babies were born healthy. They are now both identified as females and are staying with mom, dad will be neutered and will join the females after.
Before my help the mother and father lived in a TINY petstore cage together. Before this litter was born we upgraded to each parent living in a 2x2 C&C. Still small but better. Now the Babies are 8weeks old!! They are now moving the father into a small bathroom and giving the three girls a 2x4.
However here is my finale question... haha. What is the recommended C&C cage for 3 or 4 rabbits? I was thinking a 3x5, or a 4x4. She is willing to give them whatever size is necessary.
The mother is constantly in the search for a cheaper vet to neuter the dad, despite them not being exotic vet . I can't do anymore than what I have already for that.
However I am just hoping he is able to make it through whatever surgery that he goes through and is able to be with his ladies.
