A pox on everyone who encouraged me to keep this bun! (Joking! Sort of.)
He’d totally calmed down, and was inquisitive and friendly, so I enlarged his pen from 3x3 to 6x3. Room is approx 6x6, so he has 1 side, 1 corner is taken up by a futon which is piled with the Bits that spare rooms tend to collect, and the other corner the door opens into.
I thought he’d appreciate the extra hopping space, and bought some toys and chews to occupy him. He had a whale of a time at first, then dedicated his time to trashing the puppy pads and shoving the pen sides about - it sounded like thunder up there! Then we discovered that (as I’d secured the panels so he couldn’t lift them) he could just hop out instead! (3ft high!) :roll:
Sigh. Fine. I’ll extend the panels so the futon is caged off, and he gets the other 3/4s of the room. Nope, not good enough! He wants to go under the futon! He navigated my futile attempts to block it off with furniture and boxes, and ended up stuck on the futon side and was mad he couldn’t get to his readigrass :lol:
I had to admit defeat, so now he has the whole room. I’ll be moving the Stuff off the futon so he doesn’t chew anything he shouldn’t, but I’m concerned he might pee on it? :? Il also concerned what mischief he’ll decide to get up to, now there’s nowhere else to explore!
I swear, I’ve never known a more restless rabbit! Maybe my two lads are particularly dim, but neither one has been remotely interested in playing Houdini! Clearly newbie had gotten used to more liberty than he’s currently getting!
The plan had been to keep him indoors for 5-6 weeks, till post-neuter hormones had passed, then attempt to bond all my 3 singleton boys together, probably in the hallway, unless the spare room can be completely neutralised after 1 bun has been using it for a couple of months? But I don’t know how I’ll keep him occupied for that long! He’ll be climbing the walls! Idk how people have 100% indoor buns :lol:
