Not long after my stepdad moved in, I had to move my animals out - yes, I'm almost 20 but I live at home still so what the 'rents say goes. My mum claimed to be allergic and said they set off her sinus problems but for some strange reason when she didn't know I'd sneaked some back in, her sinuses were fine :lol: :roll: I understand that my stepdad doesn't really "believe" in caged animals (though is OK with the concept of pets dogs..) but I want to wangle having the buns indoors as bedroom bunnies when they're bonded.
I originally had a "one cage indoors" rule so think I may be able to swing it but wanted some ideas on how to argue for it.
Hay being spread everywhere is a major problem - if one speck of hay trails indoors with me after visiting the buns then I get nagged for it. What's the best way to keep it in one place? I generally put Ben's in his litter tray and it stays there but Rose drags it everywhere. I'm thinking of an indoor cage as a base (but permanently open) so I could keep the hay in there to keep it contained I suppose.
What about noise too? I'm probably going to have laminate flooring when my room is redecorating so imagine that may be a bit noisy. MY stepdad is the lightest sleeper so what can I do to minimise claw scratching and thumps?
Also keeping the smell down - my mum doesn't get the idea that animals have their own odours (despite being used to years of wet dog smell downstairs - the joy of a longhaired dog who loves rain :roll: :lol: ) so I'd have to keep it uberfresh smelling.
Any other tips would be appreciated - whenever I bunsit and she stays in here or my buns come indoors for a while (Ben's in while he recovers from his neuter) I just love having them around all the time and I really miss having animals in my room.
