Indoor
So there's always a little more room for us to be.
Another point you should have in mind is that we are territorial, yes , humans, your things are ours and our things are ours too, that's how we share it... so messing around with our stuff isn't very nice, they are ours, remember?
Then it's also important realize that if the space is ours and that's where we will stay, we have the right to have it as we want, right? You were also the ones who decorated your house, didn't you? So we want decorate in our own way too, so if the water bowl is placed on the opposite side to the one you chose, it is because it isthere it should be.
Now let's see what our house has to have,
Don't forget that within that space there must be:
Have Bunnies live inside of an apartment is possible as long as humans want it, but it is necessary to have conscience It is to perceive that a bunny needs space!
Compared to a Cage, a room has very more space for the bunny to stay, and it is relatively easy to be made it rabbit-proof than the whole house, but if you still can't have a room in your house so your bunny can be and play 24 hours a day, you can always buy or even make a
X-Pen for your Bunny.
- Bed / Burrow
-Bowl with water
-Food bowl
-Hay Holder
-Litter Box
-Toys
And before you even say anything else, Yes, we drink in bowls!As in nature in lakes, rivers or puddles for drinking well our head has to be forward one little downwards, like other animals (dogs, cats, etc.), we use our tongue to get water to our mouths, thus we achieved drink what we want at the speed we want, the water bottles it´s hard to drink with our head up, in addition to being uncomfortable, we don't use the tongue to get water to the mouth, there is a metal pipe, where we tap with the teeth which is uncomfortable and impractical, we often give up drinking as it is much more boring and frustrating.
But back to ourBurrow!
It is important have rugs on the ground, our paws are not like cats or dogs, we don't have the "pads" that they have and that's why we can have pododermatitis (see more about this subject here), they are very painful and if they are not properly treated... we stay very bad.
that's why fluffy carpets are the best ,the soft the better! We are very delicate in our little paws!
LItter Box!Hmmmm let's talk about bathrooms!
They can be triangular or rectangular, the important is that we manage to move in there, that is, when we go there we like to take a ride and put our pompom in a strategic place to do what we have to do and if the bathroom is too small we can't do it and everything ends up coming outside or we give up and go somewhere else, like sofas, beds, rugs,anyway, wherever we want...
It is also important to say that the litter box must have litter,but only the one for animals, the fireplace ones are for fireplaces, not for our pompoms! Nor should we have cat litter (just as fireplace pellets are for fireplaces, cat litter is for cats!) and if you want to put a plastic malleable net on top of the litter so we don't have our paws on top of ours pee, we thank you, or it could be hay too.
Another important point in our burrow is the Hay, you know that hay must be always available so having a hay rack is very important, now don't ask which one is the best, you'll have to discover with your Bunnies, because I really like having my hay in the floor, so I can lie down and eat, but my parents, for example, love it when it's hanging on the wall at home and they can be sitting down eating without worrying, my younger brother loves jumpin inside the hay rack and it's a total disaster, but that's it, the important thing is to always have hay, lots of hay green and fragrant. (Want to know more about hay? See here)
The bed or burrow, (you know I received many emails from rabbits and humans talking about this subject) the truth it was more that they complained, some because they had already spent a lot of money on cute little houses and beds for their bunnies and others complaining that their humans insist in deciding where they sleep in beds and/or burrows they don't want.
it is complicated friends, I know.
But here we're really going to have to go with calm and if my fellow bunny don't want a bed or a burrow, then it's because they are really comfortable so, their burrow is your home, and their bed that cool and delicious floor, seriously, don't be sad!
Toys, something very important! Do you know our teeth? They keep growing! And that's why it's very important chewing, chew a lot and when there are no toys what do we chew? That's right, the furniture of the house, the walls, the doors, the cables... that's why it's very important have many toys (if you want see here toys that my father teaches you how to make), not only for us we had fun during the day and night, so as not to see your furniture waving at us and asking us to give it a bite.
Now you know a lot important, to have space where we can stay, the ideal is a space where we can get up without problems, we can give 3 jumps moving forward, in which we can turn, stretch and extend without problems and all this with all the "furniture" we need inside!
And now that you've read all this, do you still think that a cage is space for us?
