Young Bun
This is going to sound like a very odd question, but I'm very good at worrying so I'll ask it anyway.
How important is it for bunnies to hear voices? Be talked to?
There's also another question which goes a little like this: "I got my bunnies and was promptly can't-get-out-of-bed sick for about 5 days so we're not totally used to each other yet, and they let me stroke them a little if the cat from up the road hasn't been bothering them too much (We're working on that, finding some kind of cat deterrent as soon as possible. Until then rattling the door handle usually does the trick) but the weather has forgotten that this is spring. So we're getting snow, rain, sleet, hail, beautiful sunshine and pretty much everything in between. But the bunnies (who are dwarf lops, just in case that makes a difference,) (Come to think of it, it probably does,) are moulting. And I don't want them to end up either matted or with hair balls, but we're kind of at the 'cautiously sniffing my knees, wiffling nose and keeping an eye on the daft biped while going to sit on some hay' stage. So... what would it be best to do? I'm kind of reluctant to just grab because,... well, because it would be grabbing."
And another question which goes "They don't seem interested in any of their toys, but they love to go 'bedrooom, upstairs, downstairs, tunnel, run GIANT BUNNY U TURN! run, tunnel, downstairs, upstairs, bedroom, repeat until hay is more interesting.' So I think they're quite happy, but I'm a bit worried because although they have hay (Oh the hay! It's like some kind of edible carpeting/bed which is also a midnight snack. Which must be disconcerting to wake up and go "...When I came up here I had a bed. Now there is no bed. Brian, have you seen my bed?" "Mmhmm? uhgmm." *shrugs, hay still in mouth, trying to swallow discreetly* "Are you sure? because it was just here. Seriously, right here." "Mughnee!" "I know! Weird, right?" "Mhghmm." "You know what I think Brian? Aliens." *Brian nods vigorously.*
...So aside from the small soap which seems to be occuring in this post I have three questions. Which I will put here.
1) How important is it for bunnies to hear voices, human voices, being talked to, etc.
B) What should I do about the whole fur, grooming and weather thing?
C) Will their teeth be alright with just hay or should I keep hunting for yummy wood they like?
Sorry for all of... that. But if I read it again it won't happen and I'd kind of like answers, sorry. And thank you for clicking and um. Getting down here. Thank you.
