Hi,
I'm having (Bluebell) the last of our three rabbits spayed on Thursday, but unsure of how to house her afterwards.
She is currently housed on her own in the biggest run/hutch. This is basically a hutch sat inside a 2mx1m enclosed run. (Orignally housed 2 buns before they started to scrap!)
Now having had one rabbit spayed and one neutered, I'm anticipating the twice daily antibiotics sessions. My problem is that Bluebell is quite timmed, having been previously housed with a dominating (and aggressive) female. Any attempt to pick her up, often results in her hiding under the hutch, where I can't get to her.
I'm thinking of swapping hutches with her with the other (recently spayed) female rabbit, as it will be easier to look after her and provide the antibiotics. Both hutches will be scrubbed out first, but I'm worried about the impact on Bluebell. I guess that she may be feeling a little unwell and "moving house" may not help her.
Has anyone else, done anything similiar, if so, how did their rabbit take it?
Cristian
