Hi
About 5 days ago a friend saw a rabbit being let out of a car and the car driving away. It was in the middle of a local hill, so they were just dumping it. My friend then managed to get it and then took it home but they could not look after it long-term. We took it in 3 days ago. Photo attached. It’s pretty easy going, happy to be stroked by the kids, weighs 2.5kg and around a year old (we took her to the vet for a once over). We let her roam our living room which she enjoyed but pooed everywhere. We now have in a cage and litter tray set up but we have never done this before so not sure. One video said to lift her whenever she poos and put her on the tray, but she’s not for being lifted at all. We are placing pooh in the tray as advised by most of the websites. We don’t know if she’s been spayed. She’s not aggressive, but does spray a bit. Well take her back to the vet and organise if need be.
Really any assists on best way to train her based on the circumstances, how long it might take (so we can set expectations) and any other suggestions on how to help her settle.
