Hi all,
I have a single mini lop who is 13m and we have had him for just under a month. He has a cage but with one side taken off so he can come and go as he pleases. He has free fun of our living/dining room, playroom and a large section of the garden fenced off.
Most days he spends the entire day in the garden and playroom. It is largely where we spend our time also (2 adults and 3 kids).
Do you think he does that because he likes being around us? He is incredibly friendly but not a fan of being picked up and told where to go
He will happily sleep in the middle of my 3 children running around and playing. How would we know if he was unhappy? Some days he spends all day in his cage if it's a hot day.
Also, I never actually shut his cage door and I'm 95% sure he doesnt come out at night as I often leave greens out and he doesnt touch them until morning and his toys are left in the same place I tidied them up to before bed.
We were considering getting a wife for him when COVID is all over and out shelter can help bond. But he has human company from 5am - 10pm every day. Is this enough for now?
Basically I'm not sure what my question is just does it sound like he has a happy life?
