Hi everyone
So the boys are going back on 21st to be rebonded and their living situation I have been thinking about a lot after talking with some friends and other members who are more experienced than myself, especially when it comes to two or more buns, my previous ones as a child were single buns (20 odd years ago I’ll add lol!).
Anyway I’d like to kind of do a poll of options of people’s experience with the different options I’m concerning and what works best. My aim is for the boys to feel safe but minimise any tension that can be bad for bonds, one bun very occasionally tried to hump the other and this we think may have caused the fall out. I’ll post pics relevant to each option but try not to be blinded by some of the beautiful set ups I’ve found as examples hehe! .... anyway I’m going on!!!
So current situation of living before the fall out; our “hutch” is open all day when I’m here and buns and cats get all of downstairs, I go out, cats stay in living room and buns in kitchen. Bedtime they go into their hutch and have pellets and shut in, cats sleep in kitchen....all was fine for 8 months doing this.
Options are;
A) stay as we were with hutch shut at night (please excuse my bridesmaid boxes currently in there!)
B) still use the hutch but put a small pen on the front so they can be in a bit more space
C) get rid of the hutch and create a bunny pen with door so they are in a big pen at night (plus a lid to keep cats out)
D) get rid of the hutch and have bunnies in the kitchen all the time at night and cats are relegated to sleep in the living room
In my head I’m worried more room = more room to hump etc or something to kick off if I’m not there....but maybe I have it backwards and smaller spaces are just for bonding. We also don’t have a huge amount of space, I’ll post the room we have on a reply.
Please chose the option you that you have experienced as working best and I welcome any other comments with your choice [emoji4]
Thank you x
