Hi folks,
First time poster and looking for some advice.
I own a cracking little Lionhead which I have had for a couple of months now. He is settling in well and is a joy to have.
I have converted my 8x4 garden shed into a house for the little fella which has plenty of hiding places, an attached run, toys, and all the other things I have previously read on this useful site that will hopefully keep him entertained. I have also had it insulated so it will be warm through the cold winter months.
Anyway..... my other half and I are shift workers so he is getting plenty of attention at every given opportunity. During the day if I'm busy around the house, I will bring him in from his shed and let him run around the house for a few hours. He seems to enjoy this as he 'binkies' about and sprawls himself out on his side in front of the television. He is a very friendly little chap who will happily lie on your chest and give you a lick on the nose. I'm conscious of the heat etc within the house and will try to keep the central heating relatively low and have a window open for ventilation.
Can anyone advise if bringing a rabbit in from its shed, into the house for a few hours and the returning it to its shed/run will have any adverse effects?
I havn't seen seen any problems personally but just want to make sure from the pro's that I'm giving the little thing the best life possible.
Thank you for your time and advice, it's much appreciated.
Argyll.
