Hi again all! I just got back fromTexas last night. It was an awesome trip, I have a nice tan,and all my animals were fine when I came home (that was the biggestrelief). But now I know I at least have someone I can trustto watch my rabbits. Pepper wasn't too happy that I had beengone for 12 days, I got quite few thumps when I let her out to playlast night. But after a few craisins, she decided I wasn'tthat bad and forgave me with bunny kisses It's nice toknow she still loves me.
Now to my question: Friday will be 6 weeks since Butterscotchhas been neutered... according to the vet, that is how long I wassupposed to wait before I could put them together. They willboth be living in the three story NIC cage I built for them awhile back(right now Butterscotch is in it because he is the bigger bunny, butPepper also lived in it for awhile too). I'm not worriedabout their bonding because they all ready have bonded before theneuter (and after with close supervision from me, no humping:shock. My question is what will I need to do for the cageso that both bunnies can live there together. I have seperatefood, hay, and veggie dishes for both bunnies and two seperate waterbottles and litter boxes. Do I combine everything into onecage or should they just share everything?? Butterscotch is afrench lop and Pepper is a mini so he should get quite a bit biggerthan her and I'm wondering if they might need two ofeverything. Also Pepper is scheduled for her spay on Aug.2nd, are they going to have to be seperated again until sherecovers? And if so, should I just wait and put them togetheruntil after she is spayed? I just hate to keep them seperateany longer, they like being together. I guess I could stillseperate them but let them have play time together. What doeseveryone think? Thanks for listening and it's good to be back!
