Hello!
I do not own a rabbit (yet) but I posted a while back asking for information. My goal is to own one with dogs one day. But that's not important right now. In a few days/a week I'm going to be PET SITTING a bunny for a coworker who is going into labor.
I've never had a rabbit before but I've researched some. She's going to be bringing me its cage, food, bedding, etc. I'm not sure what she feeds it even though I told her when she first got it to get it hay and check out the HRS website. I'm not sure how often she lets it out but she says when she does it never goes farther than 4 ft from the cage. It's fine w/ her 2 yr old girl but not the 1yr old boy.
My question is what should/could I do to make the rabbit's stay more pleasant? I'm not going to force it out of its cage if its used to being in one all day. What are suitable treats I could give it? Are they like dogs in that you cannot switch up their diet too rapidly? If she doesn't give it fresh veggies can I not?
I know they don't like being 'moved' so she'll probably hate me for the first what, few days? Should I just open the cage and sit nearby and see if it comes out? I don't want to upset it further, just provide it a safe place to live for a few days while this lady gets home from the hospital.
