Moving

[Hkok]

Not sure if this is the right forum.

We are moving anbd are thinking in what to do with our 4½ year old male he runs free in the flat and we plan the same the new place (we bunny proff first).

Shall we simply interduce him to the new place sitting with him or
Is there anything we should be aware of ?

if you give a bunny too much new territory at once, they'll go NUTS with the poop (and sometimes pee) marking, even if they were previously very well litter box trained.

when you get to the new place, keep him caged for the first 48 hours or so... I know it sucks and makes you feel bad to have to cage a bunny that's normally free-ranged, but it's important for him to establish a new home base. if you don't have a cage, then set up a small playpen around his litter box, food and water.

after that, gradually increase the amount of territory he's allowed to run around in (for example, by 1/2-1 room every couple days or so).
