Hey, my step-dad bought me a rabbit about 2 weeks ago. I have no idea how to look after him, i had never even thought of getting a rabbit so i was kind off shocked when he gave him to me.
I'm worried about where he's living, he is currently living at my Mum's house, she has pet birds & a dog that keeps barking at my rabbit all the time. Can my rabbit get ill from the birds? I don't live with my Mum so i don't see the rabbit much, & my Mum is not really an "animal person" so i worry she doesnt look after him properly.
Also i read that rabbits need to be with other rabbits, should i get him a friend?
I don't want him to be lonely but looking after 1 rabbit is confusing enough.
But im going to college soon so i will not have much time or money so its really awkward.
I'm going to get him vaccinationed as soon as i find a decent vet in my area, might take a while, is it safe for him to wait for his vaccinations?
