So today was he first day I left him alone for more than 3 hours and I was worrying about him the whole time while I was at school. When I came back he didn't make a mess, some pellets were scattered but it was minor and I am proud of him. I made a little hay toy. Basicially toilet roll stuffed with hay to keep him busy. He still can't get all the hay out and is trying to as I write this.
I let him out to play for roughly 2 hours, we played games such as chase. It is easy you can play with most rabbits in play time, all you need to do is make sure your rabbit is looking at you and run slowly/jog away from him/her and they will chase/follow you. Every time he did I offered him a treat, but all he wanted to do is play
. Then 1 hour in he starts to get grumpy and I notice this chin-rubbing, straight away I knew what he was doing and I knew why. This is why he needs to get snipped because his behaviour was showing up aswell, such as thumping and snorting, yes you read that right, snorting, first I thought it was respitorary now I am almost certain it is behavioural. Snorting I think means a sign that they don't like what you are doing/getting annoyed. So play time was over because someone was getting too grumpy.
In terms of food he is doing great, ate all of his pellets that I gave in the morning and a slice of banana as a little treat for being good over night. I think he finds it hard to drink from a water bottle so I will buy him a bowl for water but I will still put water in the bottle just in case it spills or gets dirty etc. I have limited his treats, and only give it to him as rewards such as standing up when I raise the treat in my hand, which is basic training which is always good to start off.
Friday I will clean his cage fully, one day before that I will clean his litter box if it gets smelly and/or full. Right now he is munching on hay and I love the sound Oscar makes whenever he munches on hay, chomp chomp chomp :3.
