As most of you know I have an intact female bun, Shirley.
Starting yesterday she has begun building a nest. Unlike last time where she just seemed to be occupied only for a few hours with building a nest this time it has lasted for two days and she is pulling fur.
She is not pregnant. She is building the nest in a corner of the litter box. Today is when I would normally be cleaning the litter box. I'm not sure if I should go ahead and clean the litter box or leave it a little while longer, another day or two.
The litter box is not smelling or anything I just prefer to clean it every other day as they usually dig in and it starts to really make a mess out of the cage as the horse stall pellets break down more.
I could just add some more litter avoiding the nest corner and giving them a fresh litter to sit on.
She has pulled a good bit of fur and I would hate to have her pulling even more if I get rid of her nest. She is inside but I imagine it is possible she could still feel chilly if she pulled much more.
Anyone have any experience with this and know which is the best option for my buns well being?
