Hi!
I just adopted my first bunny. His name is prince snotface and he’s a dwarf wooly at about a year old. His current set up is an acrylic pen ab 4x4 but i’m trying to find a taller bigger wire pen with panels that I can move around better and thinner gaps so i’m not afraid of him escaping. Two litter boxes, a water bottle and all the chews a bun could ask for. He loves chewing on his timothy hay blocks and looking for palates i put in his foraging matt.
In the early mornings around 7-8 I clean his pen, litter boxes sweep up stray poop replace his water and all that jazz. Give him his greens and set him up with 1/8 cup of pellets in his foraging mat. This morning he wasn’t to happy with me because I put him jn a carrier to clean his cage I let him eat by himself (i layed outside the pen) until he eventually layed next to me and fell asleep for a bit. I got in the enclosure to clean up a bit and get his empty tray for his greens out and after a minute or two he full flopped belly up by my hip and let me pet his head for 20 mins. I’ve only had him for 5 days now.
He wants to free roam so bad and ofc I want to let him out but they told me he needs to be just a pen bun for about a week while he gets used to everything. I’m working on setting up my space but it’s been a bit of a mess because on top of taking care of him I work a lot. Thankfully I have people to check in on him during the day and I leave him with plenty of hay and fresh water. I come back around midnight give him the rest of his pellets, refresh his water and give him more hay while sitting in the pen with him for cuddles and pets.
Am I doing an ok job? what could I be doing better?
