My parents have gone away on holiday for 2weeks, and so we have inherited their dog for the two weeks that they are away...
We also have a doe house rabbit (Dylan), which we have had for around 6months, and she is around 8-9 months old now. Since we live in a flat, which isn't very big, when it comes to the two pets we have to decide which animal to let out of its pen to run around and play- and so the dog gets presidence as well, its a dog and looks depressed if we leave it in its pen for too long, unlike the Dylan, although she seems to get frustrated too...
Its such a shame we cant make the two get along/bond, so that both of them can be out and playing all of the time (bar at night when they go back into their pens, and obviously if we're not around...). Its not that they dont like each other, its just i haven't dared try...
So, how can you make dog and rabbit bond?! Age wise they are both young and playfull- the rabbit is just under a year old, and the dog around 2-3. The dog is a cocker spaniel, and my only worry is that it is very excitable, and so could easily scare the rabbit or get carried away.. Please help! thanks
