I've asked about a billion questions on this forum so sorry !! I'm just trying to explore my options before committing to something I'm not sure about:
I think my parents are going to let me get another rabbit friend for percy as he's been alone since we bought him from a pet store, we weren't told that rabbits live together, and I just don't think it's fair to make him live alone outside although I do give him as much attention as I possibly can !! and I'm not going to be moving out for university at all because my campus is a 20 minute train ride from me so I don't see the point, and afterwards I'm not going to be moving out because I want to save for a house when I'm ready to move as I don't want to rent but that's another story.
So I've found a rescue center and a rabbit that'd love to get and I'm so excited because she sounds like her personality matches my current rabbits and its great !! One of my problems is I kinda want them to live in my bedroom with me because I'd be able to give them alot of attention and love but I'm worried about my room getting smelly because of them (I have two guinea pigs in my room currently as well but I'm sure if they will be able to stay with us as one has started to bully the other but i'm talking to a vet about that to see if neutering will help) as well as this I'm concerned about space, my room is fairly big but it's an awkward shape so things like my wardobe fill it up alot but I'd still be able to fit a 4x3 foot pen (I've spoken to the rescue and they're happy with the pen size) in there and they'd still have a lot of room to run around but i'm paranoid that it's not going to be enough I'm worried they won't like living in a bedroom as well and that they won't like me for it. I plan to having them free roaming whenever I'm home, letting them go into other rooms where I can watch them and attaching a run to their pen when I'm not home.
That's option 1, option 2 is having them outdoors. If I do this i'm having my hutch built, as I am with my pen, and I've squared the size of it with the rescue and they're happy with it as well as the run but with this im worried that the rabbits will fight over night or something and hurt each other whereas if they're in my room I can keep an eye on them and currently there is little to no grass in my garden and the ground is quite soggy because of a lot of rain and cold weather so would that affect a rabbit? I think I'm just being paranoid and I just wanna get a second, third, forth, fifth+ opinion on the situdation.
Thanks xx
