okay so as i said in my other post i may be getting a 5 month old mini-rex rabbit from a 4H girl who bred his mom for 4H and is getting rid of him because she is no longer breeding for 4H and needs the extra room. i have a couple questions actually.
he is an outdoor rabbit now that comes in occasionally for bonding time or whatever, but just as a personal choice i don't feel comfortable with outdoor animals because of predators here as well as the weather so he will be an indoor only rabbit (if i get him). how do i transition him from living outdoors to indoors without overheating him?
also how hard is it to litterbox train a rabbit that's only lived outside?
how do i transition him from pellets to only hay and fresh fruits/veggies without upsetting his system (it's a personal choice not to use pellets and one agreed upon by my vet, but nothing against those that do use them)?
finally what problems can i potentially be facing with him not being neutered yet? will he be peeing all over the place? even though there aren't any other rabbits here now will there still be dominence issues with him and the other animals (they are all neutered except the rabbit)? can he be neutered nowat 5 months old?
oh and of course here's a picture of him (from the breeder)
