My cousin is a lovely girl but not the most knowledgable about animals. She's had a gorgeous pets shop bunny called Peter for about 2 years now - he's gorgeous but now aggressive due to not being neutered. He lives in a small hutch in the back garden with no run but to be fair to them he has free range of the house and garden whenever they are in. They love him very much and she has accepted that her hutch is too small and is going to get a new one at some point
On her fb status today it said she really wanted a guiney pig! I sent her a message saying that's lovely, they're gorgeous etc but you can't keep it with Peter!
She replied asking why not as her friend keeps her guiney pig in the same hutch as her rabbit. I told her all the problems and result! She's changed her mind! She's now thinking of using the smaller hutch for a guiney when Peter gets his new one.
Anyway, I went on to say Peter really needs to be neutered and have a friend, she's a bit unsure because of the cost and she's worried about him, I don't think she realises what a difference it will make!
She's getting married in August and I've offered to pay for the neuter as a wedding present! She's thinking about it and I really think she will take up the offer
Anyway...is there anything else I can do to help her along in this decision?! I've told her about local rescues etc.
