Nala's Mummy
Young Bun
So I have eventually found the perfect place to take my house rabbit Nala nearby while we go on holiday to a lovely lady who does holiday boarding for bunnies and also owns a pet shop. But she has 4 dogs (who are gorgeous and great with animals, very calm and have snuggled with rabbits etc) However, when I came home the smell of her dashund on me totally freaked Nala out (I know it is the dog smell because this happens everytime I stroke a dog and come home) - I've tried to get her used to the smell on the clothes I was wearing but she won't go near it, even with her favourite treats on it. She stamps her feet and runs away, or crawls low to the ground with her ears forward when she's nervous - she's never like this and I hate seeing her like this and now I'm really worried as I have heard that stress can be very dangerous for a bunny's health and I don't want to take her somewhere to stay for one week where the smell will be all over and obviously much much stronger... will she get used to it or is this a really bad idea?? (..in the near future I was planning on getting a Cavalier as I have wanted one forever..I was hoping this might be a good thing for her to get used to dogs but now I've seen her reaction I'm worried!!!)
We go away next wednesday and I have run out of other places to find - the only option is possibly to have someone come here which we have done in the past if we were going away for a shorter period of time but I know some people on here reccomend this but is an hour or less a day with a bunny on their own in a flat enough?? I would be worried with her all on her own for that amount of time. But then again this she might prefer to the smell of dogs??
