Well I did get a new cage for Buttercup. I don't know if it's considered ideal but it's a heck of a lot better than the other one, and the price was right.....free! It measures 36"x24". I also got him some hay. Buttercup seemed really excited about his new cage. I've looked over to find him totally stretched out either laying on his side or flat on his tummy. He looks so relaxed.
I have him located behind my desk in the kitchen. He's not in a secluded spot, he can see everything that is going on in the house but he is away from foot traffic. This is the best spot I could come up with at the moment for a cage this size.
He loves the towel I placed in there, you can hardly see him he blends in with it so well. I was wondering about getting some fleece for him. I have a fabric store that sells odds and ends fairly cheap. I want him to be warm and snug. Fortunately it doesn't get freezing in my house but it's still winter and it gets a bit chilly. Is there anything else I can use to help keep him warm?
I also took him to the vet today for a check up. I found a vet that is rabbit savvy and lucked out that they had an opening today. Vet says he looks healthy and remarked on Buttercups friendly disposition. I also I made an appointment to get him neutered. I have to wait until January 19th because I am going through a spay/neuter program that will pay a majority of the operation. But at least the appointment is made.
I also got him got Buttercup hay, it's a mix of several different hays and the purchase benefits a local rabbit rescue. I didn't buy any new pellets yet cause I'm not sure what to brand to get him so I'm looking for suggestions on that.
So anyway that's todays little update :happybunny:
