Hello all. I'm new to the community. I don't have a bunny at the moment, but I'm hoping to get one. I'm king of writing to see if anyone here has any good reasons that I shouldn't...
So I'm in my first of three years of grad school. School is my only job, and I'm hoping to keep it that way. I live mostly alone in some dude's basement. The reason I say mostly is that I have to walk through his living room to get to my apartment, and he comes down to do his laundry. We're on really good terms, and he's okay with me getting a rabbit. I also have three aging pet rats who drive me crazy in the best of all possible ways. I have a boyfriend who stays over often, and I spend two or three nights a week at his place. My landlord has a cat, but she never comes downstairs.
I had a rabbit growing up. Ginger was my very first pet, and he was fantastic. He eventually ended up living outside in a hutch, but I would make sure that doesn't happen to the rabbit I would get if I get one. It was because we moved into a new house with lots of stairs and got a big slobbery dog who wanted bunny for dinner. He was always the friendliest little guy, though.
I have a friend who breeds Mini Holland Lops, and I would definitely get my rabbit from her. I think that I would want a male. I'd get him as soon as he was weaned, and I would get him neutered as soon as he was old enough. I have a sturdy old laborador-sized dog crate that I was thinking I'd try and convert into a rabbit home. I was thinking that I'd keep door to the cage closed when I wasn't home and open when I was. I know how to rabbit-proof the house and all that to make sure he doesn't electrocute himself or anything. It's a pretty small space, and would be easy to make safe.
I don't have a very regular routine, mostly because I hate routine. The House Rabbit Society says that routine is important for rabbits to feel comfortable, so at the moment I'm worrying about that. I don't think of myself as a super busy person, but there are days when I'm gone for twelve hours or more. Basically, I can't have a dog because I'm not home enough.
Really, I think that I'd be a right good bunny owner, but I worry about making rash decisions and wanted to give the world a chance to shoot down my idea, if that seemed necessary.
Thanks in advance!
