TheThumperDiarys
New Kit
I’m the lucky Bun-mum of three gorgeous girlies and one recent angel Bun
My three girls live inside, how they came to be indoor bunny’s in the first place was sort of by chance,
I’ll introduce them briefly so you know who were talking about here.
I’ve got Floppsy, Flick and Luna.
I adopted Flop, Flick and they’re brother Thumper a few years ago.
They were given to me as outdoor rabbits and lived in a custom made hutch with a run attached for the first few years.
Unfortunately Flop became sick with E-C and became disabled as a result. So we brought her inside and Flick lives with a Thumper outside till he became poorly and passed away earlier this year.
This was early January and because of the cold I decided to bring Flick inside as well because I didn’t want her outside on her own
The plan had been to bond her with another rabbit to live outside with her but that’s not gone quite to plan, we adopted two more girls but Flick fought with both and unfortunately the other fur we adopted Nunchucks didn’t bind with either of our girls. Luckily a friend was happy to take Nuns, and she is living a lovely life with her
Luna hasn’t bonded with Flick, but seems to like Flop, while Flick has also bonded with Flop, not as well though,
So now I’ve got the dilemma of how to either get them as a trio, or find Flick another friend?
Also I’m having family issues with them being indoor rabbits,
My mum especially dislikes the fact that they are indoors, she calls them dirty and smelly which obviously upsets me quite a lot.
I try to keep them as clean as I can, with regular cleanings out and spot cleaning regularly,
But I think she doesn’t get it.
We have cats and I find the rabbits have a similar type of relationship with me
They will follow me round and interact with me which I really love, but she doesn’t see that, she just sees them as ‘rodents’
And in her mind they shouldn’t be ‘living among us’’
Yet she has a dog and that’s fine?
It’s bizzare really.
I’d really like to keep them indoors, ideally either with a friend for Flick or have them as a trio if they take to each other.
But I’d like them to have almost 24/7 access to the house like the cats do, within reason obviously, and in terms of the cats, I keep them safe.
But I’d like them to live less like penned in petting zoo animals and more like family memebers
