Hi,
I am really hoping someone can offer some advice please.
I have a three year old mini lop who currently lives alone outside - unfortunately for various reasons I am unable to get him a friend at the moment.
He has always been allowed in the house for short periods and loves all the attention he gets, but since reading up on here I realise that this is probably not good for him. However, he is used to this now and I couldn't bear the thought of him outside all the time with no company.
I keep the hutch as warm as possible when he goes back out, blankets, loads of straw, a snugglesafe and an insulated cover and waterproof front cover at night.
I am now wondering whether it may be wise to bring him inside permanently. My head is full of questions, would he be too warm? Would he adjust?
If he did come in, he would have a penned area for when he's alone but would probably free range downstairs whenever there's someone here.
I really want whats best for him but I am unsure what this is.
I know I'm probably waffling now so will shut up and wait for some advice.
Thank you all xxx
