hi--
i'm new to the forum. i live away from home for college, and miss my dog and cats, so i was thinking of getting a bunny for my apartment. i love animals and i think a bunny would be a good fit. i do have a few questions though..
first, i want something affectionate and with a personality. hamsters and guinea pigs just aren't like having a dog or cat. it seems that bunnies are this way, but i guess i was just confirmation
second, what is their housing like? i have a large cage (32x22 i believe). the bunny would be primarily out in the apartment, but i do have roommates so when i am gone/at class (not usually for more than a few hours at a time) i think it would be best that she be in her cage. that being said, would she be better in her cage, or loose (in my room) at night?
third, what kind of bedding do they use, or do they need bedding? i want to litter train the bunny (the breeder i am looking to get her at will have them litter trained), so do they need bedding? i know they need constant hay, in addition to their food. basically, what is their set up like?
and anything else i should need to know! i feel like a bunny will be a good pet for me, but i need to know more about them before i commit. thanks!
