Hi there,
I need to vent big time!
Winter time: Whenwe first got our bun, we had her outside. We got her in the winter. She has a huge hut and we brought her in the garage when it got bitter. Then husband put plexy glass around her cage and a lizard rock. Plus it has two sections in the hut and we put lots of straw in there. Well after going back and forth and it going through cold to bitter and so on, I brought her in for the winter.
Summer time: Okay, in the summer, we would put ice bottles out there when it was hot and when it was too hot, we brought her in. Last year we had trouble with mice getting in her hut so I brought her in for awhile. Then she had poo poo butt and I was worried about fly strike so I brought her in again.
This past winter, I had her outside again and when it kept going down to bitter, I just said forget it, she is coming in to stay. Cuz once they come in from the cold you can't take them back out from being in a warm house. So hubby put her in the basement in her spare indoor cage. But supposely his son is allergic (bunch of BS) So he put plastic up on two sides and made a four wall area like a room and she would stay in there alone and we would have to go down and open up the plastic doors to see her in that big space. It killed me. She had to be lonely. I mean we went down there and fed her and all but I was like the heck with this, she is coming up in the front room which is where the computer and my tv is. She is so good. She is litter trained and my daughter and I let her out when we are in the room. She loves to sit by the front window and sit on the window sill. She hops around and then jumps up on the couch. Hubby feels she belongs outside. I will put her out when the weather is warm, but the car windows are still icey in the mornings. He put her back in the basement. He saw blue marks from the rabbits cage going into the kitchen and accused me of scraping the cage across the floor. I didn't do it. Her cage is green. So he took her down. Here it was his boys toy that made the mark. He apologized, but he said, she still can come up in the room. I was sooo upset. He saidshe is dirty and it is so gross with the timothy hay in her cage. I clean her everyday, but Friday night, the one night I didn't clean out the cage, he said something. I was going to clean it out after my walk.
No one understands when I talk to them about this. Like I am a weirdo for wanting my rabbit inside. His side of the family is like well can't she go in the outside cage and I just said it isn't ready and his sister is like well how long does it take? I am sooo mad. It is none of their business if I want her in or not. People have their dogs and cats and are dog and cat lovers but when you love your rabbit you get looked at like you are a weirdo and it bugs me.
Can anyone relate to this?
