Ok, there are probably a trillion threads like this previously around, but can't find them at the mo applogies.
I have two largish lops, that I would like to bring in to the house to live. They currently reside in a luxurious three level hutch with a 4' run attached. They spend from 6.30am-8.30pm having the run of all the levels and attached run. At night they are confined to the top two floors.
I don't know what the best indoor accomodation would be. I have seen lots of overgrown hamster cage type things, but don't think they would be big enough for my girls. Both my girls love their space and I would feel mean shutting them up in one of those, while I was at work.
I have also seen some dog crates, but again I just don't think they would be large enough.
It's not like these girls a giants, but I am concerned that I cannot provide them with adequet space or enterainment during the day. Although I would have more time with them if they were in the house, they would have to be shut in for 10hrs during the day and from 7hrs at nite. I would love to have them around me in the house, but think I'm being selfish. When they are outside they get to roam around their enclosure for 11hrs a day.
Will they get the same quality of life if I bring them inside to live. I know there are obvious benifits to indoor living, but can they out weight the freedom they have outside.
I am truely having a dilema, please advise.
