Hello. I recently aquired a beautiful himmi buck at the Ky cup show last weekend. I just had a couple questions though.
One, I know himmis are laid back breeds. But I let him out to run around the second day and he binkied. I was surprised that he would in a strange place and be so comfortable with us already. He isn't scared of my dog, cats, or us. He'll come right up to our feet. Is this normal or am I mistaking his spazing run abouts as I call them? Second we keep him in our room. Which is normally kept around 65 to 70 degrees with our air conditioner. Outside of our room however, is about 80 degrees cause we live with my partners mom and although we help pay power, she doesn't want the air conditioning on unless its unbareable. The thing is that our room is small and I let him out to run about on the kitchen flor or if its nice but not too hot outside on our deck with supervision. He loves getting out of course, and I watch him carefully. But is such a temp change like that going to seriously effect him? And he is going to be my show rabbit and I know a himmis points are climate sensitive. Will this effect him too? he isn't out long. Maybe 45 minutes or so until I can get him an xpen. He is handled and cuddled with daily and seems fine. And third I could not find oxbow young rabbit feed. Only adult rabbit feed. Will this be alright for now if I give him alfalfa cubes? Thanks for any help provided. If I have any more I will be sure to ask. Oh and he is only 8 weeks old
