My brother hates my rabbit.
Well, hate is too strong of a word. Maybe dislike is better?
When I first got Garnet my brother was fine with her, a bit uneasy, but fine. But the moment she chewed up his phone charger, it all started.
I can understand him being upset, I mean the rabbit chewed up two of his chargers and a few of his other things. But what I don't understand is that if the rabbit chewed up something of yours, wouldn't you keep your things out of the rabbit's reach? I'll get back to this.
Every since she's chewed up some of his things, he's held a grudge against her. I have Garnet in a pretty large bunny condo that I made, but my brother does the most unnecessary things. Garnet has indeed escaped from the condo a few times but that was my own fault as I didn't take the necessary look over to watch for any weak spots. (She hasn't escaped in months though, so we're all good.) But because my brother is neurotic about her escaping, he literally puts the heaviest things bordering her cage, including the top, so she can't escape. I understand why he wouldn't want her escaping, but I feel like putting anything heavy for a barrier around her cage when she hasn't escaped in months is ridiculous. I have patched up and strengthened the condo, including multiple zips and weights, yet he still continues to put heavy things around it. Ever since I've expanded her condo she's made no effort to escape, so what's the point?
I want things to be alright on both ends. My brother gets upset about the smallest things, which he's admitted to. He constantly leaves food in our room that Garnet has eaten on multiple occasions (which includes sour gummy worms, potato chips and buttload of chocolate candy. Garnet's fine, she just had a little tummy ache but eventually passed it through) and literally gets mad at the rabbit for eating it. It's not like he put them on a table or anything, he literally leaves it on the floor like an invitation for her to eat them. He gets angry at her for chewing up things yet he leaves them on the ground in the first place.
I would love to get Garnet a friend. I feel like she'd benefit from one, and maybe even stop targeting his things as a way to have fun. But I know that he would 100% not be alright with a second rabbit if he can't even stand the rabbit we have now.
Sorry about how long this is, I just really needed to vent. I want things to be good on both Garnet and my brother's sides. I would greatly appreciate some help, and if you have any questions or are confused about the whole situation, ask away.
