Eloise_MiniLop
New Kit
I have a recent arrival who is a mini lop, is very loving and keeps wanting head strokes, eats out of my hand and just walks all over me so very friendly.
His area is built from c and c grids, 2 in height. Yesterday he managed to jump out 3 times and came over to me, I have added an extra grid to make it 3 high, but need to remove when cleaning.
He has since had several attempts to jump this, he actually jumped to a corner and his rear paws were supporting him in a grid and his front paws too so he looked like Spider-Man he held there then flopped back to ground. He can jump to the 3rd almost but just falls back to ground. I’m concerned he is going to hurt himself at this rate, he has plenty of hay, pellets. Has a tunnel to enjoy and other things and has a lot of room to race about but he keeps wanting to get to me.
Do you think he will calm down as he is just a baby bunny? Should I continue to have time he can spend with me or reduce our time together end not give him some food by hand? If he wasn’t so small/fragile I’d let him follow me around more but as he is a baby don’t want him to get hurt
He is very different to my doe who is more standoffish. I also wasn’t sure what to name him but I think he has earnt himself the name Peter Parker!
