I just dont know what to do Right now I have mixed feelings of anger at myself, sadness, and frustration.
I am desperatly trying to make all 3 of the rabbits happy, while keeping myself happy too. Nothing is seeming to work.
Oliver is by far the best off. He is in my room, and gets the most attention of them all. He is spoiled to death by not only me, but my mum too. My dog doesn't mind him being in my room, and all works out well with him. Plus, he is the most amazingly tempered, and loving rabbtit I've ever seen.
Daisy doesn't have a 'set' home. I've been moving her around, trying to bond her with each rabbit, etc. since she arrived 1 year ago. I tried her with Blaise, that only worked for a short time and they lived in a hutch outside. THen they moved inside and she got very sick. While getting better, she separated from Blaise and was truly happy for a very short time. Then I decided it would be best to bond her with Oliver, and move her up to my room. I thought that she would get the attention she deserved and a real chance at my heart. I feel sooo guilty that she is somewhat the 'left out' one in the family
So currently she is in my room, but it isn't working out. I couldn't bond her with Oliver. Plus, she has the worst smell out of all of the buns, and keeps me awake all night. I've been so agitated and tired lately (due to lack of real sleep) and I can't function like this. My mum and I both decided that Daisy will have to move out of my room very soon.
Now Blaise, my cheeky bunster. He is who I have been neglecting. At the moment, he is in the downstairs room all by himself. Right now I am practically in tears because of how he is. He seems so lifeless, and he has lost his spunk. I just went down to water, feed, and visit with him and what I saw was horrid. Because of all that is going on with the other buns, I had neglected to clean him out fully, and there were flys around his cage (indoors). I broke down right then. I would never forgive myself if he had gotten flystrike because of me. Fourtunatly, he is fine and the flys were around his cage just because of a new air freshener that I am using. But that really opened my eyes
Now, the problem I am facing is where do Blaise and Daisy go? You guys have heard my complain countless times about how my grandfather comes in the summer, and uses the bunny room while he is here. So, last year the buns moved out into their hutch.
I just HATE them being in that hutch. I cannot be around them all the time, and if there were flys in my clean house, then what is stopping more flys from getting them in the hutch??
I will not get rid of any of my buns, that is just not an option.
And please understand that I do try my absolute best, and I am really having a hard time with this situation I am in. I just dont know what to do anymore. My rabbits are healthy, but they just may not be happy at the moment :? You guys know how devoted I am to them, and when ou see me upset like this you should understand that something is really not working out well.
I look at you guys, and you have everything together. You have *just* the right amount of rabbits, you have gotten them to bond happily, or when the dont bond you can handle it.
I just dont know what to do. Does anyone have any help? I'm just desperate right now
Sorry for the rant. I actually feel much better now. I'm off to think of a temporary solution for Daisy, because I cannot sleep with her one more night :roll: :lol:
