Hi,
I have a 3 foot square hutch which sits over a 7 by 3 foot run. Looks more like a chicken coop. Our 7 year old male rabbit has been housed happily in this covering the sides of the run during winter but sadly he died last week.
Our intention was to extend the hutch and run in the Spring to then house 2 rabbits together but the childrens grandmother (to our surprise) has kindly delivered 2, 9 week old little boys this weekend. I'm just worried that although I am happy that they have enough run space will they have enough hutch space or get agitated with each other.
I am able to add another hutch to the opposite end which I can connect to the run but am worried this will encourage them to become territorial and begine to fight? Also we have been advised not to have them neutered untill they are 9 months old? Seems quite late would anyone advise any differently? They are not from the same litter but are well bonded at the moment.
Many thanks
Lisa
