Hi
I own 2 golden retrievers and I'm considering getting a rabbit ( mini lop) I used to have a rabbit years ago before I got my golden boys but when he passed I was heartbroken and not ready to own another one but I am now and I'm even currently having a conservatory build purposely for my new bunny so he will have his own room away from the dogs.
However I know that rabbits can obviously die from shock and fear and I've never had rabbits and dogs together before my Golden boys are really good at ignoring small furries but their still dogs at then end of the day so I won't be letting them anywhere near my rabbit but as rabbits can die from shock some friends with rabbits have suggested I don't get one as even though he will be safe on the otherside of the conservatory door he will still see the dogs through the glass door and could get scared and hide and it won't be fair.
I just wanted to hear from more rabbit lovers on if you thing my setup could work having a room/conservatory for my rabbit to have all to himself (I may get a second rabbit too and it's going to be a large conservatory and he'll be free roam in their plus I will let him enjoy my large garden when the dogs are not out their) I'm just sacred if he does get scared of seeing them on the other side of the glass?
Anyone got both? Any advice so he won't get scared of the dogs?
