Hi! I just got my first bunny,Callie, in June when her former owner got bored of her anddidnt want her. Well, she is the most active and lovablelittle ball of fur I've ever met and I love her dearly, but she is alsoa huge trouble maker. She is approximately 8 months old
She chews on the corners of the wall, baseboards, doors and pulls upcarpet. I know some of it is hormonal, but how good are theodds she'll stop after being spayed? Also, how would having afriend help? She is most destructive when no one is payingattention to her. I am super busy and unfortunately cant giveher too much time on a regular basis. I'm having troubleconvincing the boyfriend (who I live with) to get another rabbithowever, due to the utter destruction ours wreaks.
Now, Callie currently lives in a NIC condo but I just bought her a XXLdog crate (48 X 30 X 35H). The crate is a little smaller thanthe NIC condo, but will be much more convenient. It will beeasier to move and to pack up when she goes with us to visit my momover Christmas or when someone is bunnysitting her when we areaway. The crate should arrive Monday, but her spay isTuesday. Can I move her to her new cage Monday or should Ileave it alone until after her spay? I dont want to upset herwhen she's recovering.
I'd also appreciate any other tips about her upcoming spay or any other bunny tips!
Thank you so much!
