Okay so now I have had my bunny for one night and thought that I should report some general observations. He seems sad and lonely so this morning we had a visit in the expen together. I think he really misses his sister a lot!
He is still laying in his litter box. When I woke up this morning the whole expen was covered in poop. I picked it all up and put it in his litter box. I haven't seen him used the litter box so I can't praise him for using it yet. The book I read said do not expect results until after the first two weeks of him being there as it is an adjustment period for him. And also they said in the first two weeks he may not be himself. Which is true, he is definatley not acting like the happy little bunny that I visited at the humane's society. But he does seem to get that I am his Mama. He seemed to like my visit when I went to see him.
I got that he was scared because he rearranged one of the things that I bought to be a bed for him. It is a small fabric cat bed. He took it and tipped it over, then he put it in front of the little plastic thing that I bought him. It is one of those little house things that has a door and he can go in. It was in front of the door but on a slant so he could hide behind it. He hid behind it as soon as I came downstairs. And stayed there until he thought it was safe to come out. So I am boing to leave it there so he feels safe.
So any tips or suggestions? I added another litter box so that possibly he might use the second one as a poop station. Also I moved the litter box to a spot that had more poop and pee. Should I leave a small night light on for him so he can see what he is doing at night time. Maybe he just needs to see where he is pooping?
