Hi all,
Ive been asked to look after a rabbit for about a month.
Ive asked the obvious - sex, neutered, vacs & indoor or outdoor.
Reply:
Sex: Male - rex cross something:?
Neutered: NO
Vacs - was advised no as an indoor rabbit :roll:
Ok - so here is my situation - my girls are indoors at the moment - so even though they are spayed - they have not been introduced to an other rabbits as yet - they have seen the neighbours - but they ran away. I dont have space for another indoor cage that would - at least I htink - give enough space for a bunny to live in for a whole month.
Also - very concerned about vacs - am I right in saying myxi will transfer if contacted by an UN-vaccinated bun to mine if they are bitten by the same insect? and VHD is catchy isnt it?
I think I will insist so far the rabbit has to be vaccinated first & proof given if the above is right.
I am abit concerned to having a rabbit indoors that is not neutered what with hormones etc....but how can I ask them if he can stay outside if he hasnt been out already & wont have a winter coat?
Ive tried to offer help to someone I dont know & now am wondering if I have done the right thing. I dont mind looking after another rabbit for someone but obvioulsy dont want to upset mine...or more like make them ill.
They are happy to drop off the rabbit & the food. I do find it odd as they dont know me either, but cant afford boarding it.
Advice on health / vacs & how I can help this bunny, inform the owner abit more would be great....
thanks!
