Hi,
There are 6 orphaned baby rabbits at the local shelter. They are about 9-12 days old. This is a cat&dog shelter and they don't know how to care about bunnies, there are no rabbit rescuers in a country.
Me and my husband could probably volunteer to take them home and feed/care for them until they can be on their own and will be ready for adoption.
The question is, we currently have two buns at home: 1y 7m old mini lop male and a lionhead female (age unknown). Both are neutered. They are not bonded yet, as we adopted the girl from the same shelter only about 4 days ago. Girl was cage protective and stressed at first, now shes much more calm, even cuddles, but is building a nest and marking territory. Boy started marking territory, too, since we brought home the girl.
Can we bring home 6 baby rabbits in this case? Adult bunnies currently live in separate enclosures, baby rabbits live in cat transporting cage. We have a studio-type (one room for all) apartment, so won't it be too much stress for all the buns to live in one studio?
Thank you in advance!
