Hi i hope ive posted this in the right place this is my 1st post on this forum so hi :wave:
My problem is i got a frech lop off pre loved a while ago he was about 6months old he wasnt very tame but i can get his to eat out my hand and have a fuss now you just cant hold him. I had him neutered and bonded his with one of my female rabbits very easily but now we have a major problem!
We have a fox coming in at night i think and it sets him off banging his feet so loud that he wakes the neighbours and us up and once hes started he doesnt stop! The hutches are secure so im not worries about their saftey at all but hes so noisy im actually getting really worried about complaining neighbours theese are all rented houses off one company and i dont want us getting thrown out! The other rabbits bang sometimes as well but its no where near as loud probably because their smaller in size and havnt got the same stregnth in their back legs.
Yesterday i tried sort of sound proofing the part where he bangs with 3layers of thick towel and covered it over with a vynil floor covering, but it made no difference. I love him to bits but its turning into a nightmare im 26weeks pregnant and got no sleep last night with his thumping and me going outside 2try quiet him. Hes as quiet as a mouse in the day!!! And my partners working 8-9 all week plus driving time on top so he needs sleep to im at a loss! I thought i may try cover the hutch tonight so they cant see out but im thinking he will still smell and here mr fox and start thumping anyway :roll:!
Does anyone have suggestiong that might help please im desperate??
If not them im going to have to look at rehomeing him, but then im going to have to break the bond with the other bun she has bad behaviour issues so i wouldnt be happy letting her go really shes actually quite :evil: lol. And how would i find the perfect home for him, ive heard so many horror stories about rabbits that have been given awayand rescues are allway full!
Sorry for the very long 1st post but any help would be really appreciated,
