Hello All,
We're about to get our doe (Netherland Dwarf X Lionhead) Daisy spayed, but given that she normally lives with our male bun (Bobby) in an area that isn't ideal for her convalescence (jumping in and out of a hutch, and hay and straw in the litter trays) we're wondering how best to house her post-op. We have old sheets that we can use as bedding, boxes that she loves to sit in, and an area that we can cordon off for her where we can keep an eye on her. Both her and Bobby are very litter trained (thankfully!). Our questions are:
How little should she 'jump'? - are standard cat litter trays (around 2.5 inch high) too high for her? Also, will she stop herself from jumping, or should we remove all temptation?
Can Bobby be in with her for short periods of time if we are watching them? They seem to have a strong bond, so I don't want to disrupt that.
When can we put them back together? We can easily keep them together in the 'post-op' area.
Any idea or advice on how to keep Daisy comfortable, maintain the bond and the litter training is very welcome! We've read through countless guides on the web, but are still finding ourselves with unanswered questions!
Thanks!
