A fewweeks ago I was in the pet shopbuying hay and the customer in front was obviously trying to find a wayto rehome an older rabbit, and the petshop woman was basically sayingsorry no one wants older ones and his chances of rehoming were prettymuch nil round here.
Of course I butted in and asked for a few details and being me ended upgiving him my number and saying if he couldn't find a home anywhereelse I'd take him in.
So he's just rung me up and asked if I'll still have the rabbit andI've said yes, sight unseen, I'm about to go and pick him/her up. S/hehas never been sexed so I don't know which it is yet.
My worry is that this rabbit has always been outside. I can't haveoutside rabbits here, there are too many predators that call my gardenhome.
Eventually after a quarantine period s/he'll join the others, but forthe meantime I'm going to have the hutch in the kitchen. It isn't awarm place, none of my house is, but is there any danger of him/hergetting into problems as a result of being brought inside temperaturewise, and if so is there anything I can do to lessen the shock?
Any other tips also gratefully received. I'm going to get him/her now.
