New bunnies
Young Bun
Hi there everyone :wave:
I know it’s a subject with loads of previous posts but i’d really appreciate some thoughts on our situation. We’ve just got two baby mini lops last weekend (13 & 17 weeks), the boy is already neutered.
The original plan was for them to be outdoor bunnies but at the last minute I got worried about the children not seeing them, them being outside & never getting used to us so I bought an indoor cage from the breeder. It’s a 150 cage with a deep base & for the last week while they’ve been settling in they’ve just been in the cage with a layer of sawdust & then a layer of straw. Plus plenty of hay scattered about as they don’t seem to like hay rack / balls etc!
We have a puppy play pen to attach to give them more room to run about but what would you recommend we put down in the playpen, non slip Lino? We’ve got slippy laminate floors & although they have 2* litter trays they are doing a lot of poos in the rest of the cage.
Second thing, sawdust is not very good for bunnies is it? The breeder recommended it but what would be the best alternative for the floor of their cage, they have wood pellets in their litter trays which they seem happy enough with.
Thanks so much for any advice / experience
