Hi all - we are new to the forums. Happy Xmas! Advice needed please.
We got six 'emergency' bunnies last week after taking themfrom an evil person about to feed them to his dog - 2adultsand 4 tiny buns about 5 weeks old. Afterrehoming 3 with relatives, and one badly looked after baby dying enroute to our house, we bought new cages and settled them allin. Two days before Christmas, the bunny we were told was'the only male' (never thought to check!) gave birth to seven tiny pinkwrigglies after showing no sign of pregnancy at all except eating ourdog's meat biscuits....
Sadly, one wriggly died on Xmas day after coming out of the nest, so webrought them all indoors. We now have ten buns and one guinea pig, andwe'll be keeping them all!! They are soooooo cute and squeak and popabout when we open the nest to check them! Two rabbits and the pig livetogether, and a large doe lives alone - she is extremely vicious andI'm hoping we can tame her a bit. Mam and the 6 wrigglies are livinginside with us.
Has anyone any advice on whether some of the buns can live togetherwhen they're older? We can't afford millions of cages - have ordered 3more so will have 6, all about 5 ft long each, and well big enough formini buns. I'm too soft to give them away, and the vet quoted £400-£450to neuter them all- we just can't afford to do them all.
Advice is greatly needed and appreciated!
Thanks,
Linz and Ken
