Apologies if this has already been covered!
I am looking at finally getting my own home and I have seen a flat that I really like (it's Grade 2 listed and very safe), it is also well within my budget. However, the snag is that it obviously does not have a garden.
My two currently live in a shed with access to a run during daylight hours. They are both 7 years old, Inky has joint problems (which are made worse by the cold) and hayfever. Smokey is prone to GI stasis, particularly when the weather changes (weird but true).
I really want them to be house rabbits, particularly in the winter, but I worry that they would miss going outside in the summer if they lived in a flat (Smokey loves sunbathing). Also, I feel quite strongly about rabbits being able to do things like dig and graze as they would in the wild. On the other hand, the flat is very airy and has lots of windows and space for them to run around.
I know deep down I want a house but I just can't seem to find one that is in my price range that is secure enough for me to feel safe leaving the rabbits on their own all day in.
I guess what I wonder is should I hold out for a house or consider a flat?
Thanks,
