Young Bun
Hi, I am new here and looking for some advice. We got an 8 week old Lionhead at easter with a young guinea pig. They lived together until I noticed Rosie rabbit being a bit pushy with Penny pig so they are now separated.
Penny pig now has 2 new girlies to live with so she is happy.
I feel sorry for Rosie now though, for a couple of reasons I am considering moving her indoors but wondered how difficult this would be. The reasons for wanting to bring her in are 1- she is alone! 2- although she can go in the garden when the weather is good it isn't enough for her I feel. 3- she has ridiculous fur, she has long fur all over, not just on her head and sawdust gets matted up daily (I frequently have to trim the fur from her eyes and bum for her comfort).
If I bring her inside for good I don't want her in an indoor cage, I would like her free range so to speak. I have a dog and a cat who both are very used to her hopping about them when outside but they would never be left unattended anyway. She would be in the kitchen overnight but allowed free run of the house during the day when we are in.
My concerns are mainly to do with litter training... I am sure there are threads on the forum regarding litter training so I will search shortly. What I am asking is do you think Rosie would prefer this and would it be an easy transition for her / us?
Any advice would be great!
