Hi there! My name is George Washington :bunny24 and I have recently lost my girlfriend. We have been bonded since we were babies. My human is a little worried for my happiness and wants to keep me inside for the rest of my days. But persuading her parents in another thing all together...
BouncingBunniez here. I have been wanting to house the bunnies indoors since they were babies but now that George is alone I even more worried. So recently I have tried to fight for George to become apart of the family indoors.
It's just my parents are not budging. I've only got as far as them letting me get George some C & C grids.
Their main excuse is "He doesn't like inside he was made for the outdoors."
I have done my research on why living indoors is better. Here is some examples of their replies to my facts are:
They live longer indoors: "Because they are caged indoors their whole live, he won't like indoors all day long." or "They have been outside there entire life he won't like inside."
I can bond more with George: "You can do that outside as well."
Rabbits hide illnesses well if I'm with him all the time I can spot them easily: "Spend more time with him outside."
Along with this there are comments such as:
"His fur gets everywhere."
"No he loves outside"
"We don't have room for rabbits."
When I do express my feelings towards the wellbeing of George they have...
Let him come indoors at night!
But I'd really like him to be housed indoors. Then I think about George how would I acclimate him to going from free range outdoors all day to being inside the house all day. Is that possible???
And if you were wondering I live in New Zealand where we have near to none predators and snow.
If you guys do have any tips, tricks and helpful info in general please comment below.
P.S I'm not trying to come off as a brat....
