Wise Old Thumper
At the moment both my buns are living indoors. The only thing is when I go to work I have to lock them both up in their homes which I hate doing. I live at home and although my dad would never be cruel to any animal (he looks after my brothers guineas extremely well) he hates the fact we have two buns running round the house and seriously frowns whenever they're both out. Especially since we have so many cream carpets.
The buns live in my room and currently have a trixie 150 each, I just don't feel it's big enough for the amount of time they have to spend in there and as a result it's leading me to feel extremely guilty. I hope nobody shouts at me this because I love them both dearly! And I know what I'm giving them at the moment isn't ideal
I adore having them inside and a night just wouldn't be the same without having Archie waking me up at 4am by sprinting round his cage BUT I want what's best for bunnies, not me.
So here's my dilema ... First of all I need to bond them but if this is successful ... Do I somehow try and convince my dad to let them be totally free range in one room, the kitchen for instance? Or should I consider putting them as outdoor bunnies when the weather starts to get warmer where they'll have plenty of room to binky about? In either a cage or shed (opinions on which).
I love my boys and I hate hate hate the idea of them going outside and being "away" from me but it's breaking my heart to not let them have the space that they need. I just fear that if not I'm going to end up giving them up to someone who can properly care for them and give them the costant space that they need. I'm filling up writing this!
