Lynn's Bunny
Mama Doe
Wow, I haven't posted in ages. I have 2 rabbits. My oldest is 11 years old and then I have a netherland dwarf who is 4 years old. Both live in an outbuilding, which they have free range in. It is approx 12 feet by 10 feet, has 2 windows and electricity to it. In the spring/summer I have an enclosure which is predator proof and is 5 feet by 5 feet.
Now that my oldest is getting on in age I'm curious if I should consider bringing my other rabbit inside when the older one passes (which hopefully won't be for a couple more years or more).
I seriously miss them in winter because it gets so cold in their house that I can't stay out for very long. They do have heatpads to sit on to take the chill off.
And I'm unsure if I will adopt another bunny. So I worry mine would get lonely. But do you think she'd make the transition ok? Our house is fairly calm and quiet as it is just me and my husband and a tortoise inside. I have a spare room that I would set up a pen in and then she could have the run of the house when we're home.
I'm just not sure if this would be cruel? She is used to living outside, well, in the outbuilding.
I'm looking for my guidance and if anyone else has done this please let me know. Thank you in advance.
