I'm so sorry if this is long...I'm getting readyto leave on June 8th for 2 monthes and I'm not sure what to do...Wehavea friend of ourswhois going towatchmy rabbitand our dog till my dad gets backwhich will be June 28th.Today we went overso the animals cando like a "Meet and greet"well when we started talking about what to dowith the rabbit our friend just look so terrified about having to takecare of him and everything..esp. when i told her how big the cagewas..even though he doesnt need much at all.They've never had rabbitsso I can understand that.But the whole time Orion would not move in hislil carrier cuz the environment was just way too loud and too much wasgoing on,and he's usually a very curious guy and likes to know whatsgoing on but he was too scared..She has 2 girls and i think one is like11 or 12 and I know the other daughter is 13.I'm really worried now cuzhe got kinda stressed and the fact that he's gonna have to be throughthat for almost 3 weeks.I want to keep him here at my house where he'sin a safe,CALM,quiet andfamiliar environment..but my momthinks he'll be bored which I know he won't since he's kinda older andhe mainly sleeps alot anyways,even when I let him out to play he hopsaround for like 10-15 min.and he starts resting some.Both his pastowners were military single guys and the guy we got him from said whenhe had to leave for a couple weeks he's fine by himselfhejust had a couple buddies come over and they checked on him a coupledays a week.So I know he'll be fine by himself and we've even gone on afew trips where we left him(he had plenty of food and water)and he wasfine.All our friends would have to do is come over like 1-2 times aweek and check on him and let himget someexercisefor a few minutes and everything else.And I know thatit'll be easier for them,but my mom disagrees with him being here byhimself and she thinks I'm exaggerating about everything I just said onhere, but I'm not cuz I'd think after 2 years I'd know my own rabbitand what he likes and dislikes and what his more comfortable with.Ijust don't feel comfortable leaving him with them cuz the girls werekinda like"aww what a cute bunny!"and they werekinda goinnuts cuz their impression of a rabbit is cute n fuzzy and lets playwith it 24/7 and hold it constantly and I just feel so much morecomfortable and at ease with leaving him at my house where he won't bein such a busy loud environment with ppl wanting to touch himconstantly, my dad even thinks its a good idea to leave him here cuz heknows hes a very low maintenance rabbit cuz he had to take care of himonce too. So does anyone know what I should do? Should I leave him herewhere he's comfortable or take him to our friends house? And if Ishould leave him how could I convince my mom? Anyones input would begreatly appreciated! thanks! Again sorry this is long!
