hello.
we have a house rabbit thats destroyed everything from wood work to wires to walls etc.
he is about 5 yrs old. living the good life.
now he refuses to use his potty trained box and peeing on the bottom of the cage and poop is now everywhere. ive had it.
i love him, i really do,,,, but hes destroying everything.
ugh
so i have placed him in his large cage in the new additoin chicken coop.
he will have company during the day/night.
now he is going to be living with 6 baby chicks about 7 weeks old.
he is very familiar with chickens, as they lived in the house till the coops were complete.
he loved it.
i really think he wants company.
i am not planning on getting him a girlfirned, he already had one, she passed away 2 years ago. so hes been fine alone. really he is never alone so to speak.
so this brings me to the question, if already answered from previsous people asking the same thing, well i am sorry then. so how will they get along? does anyone have pics of their chickens and rabbits housed together?
i have a porch, which during nice days, oreo (thats his name) can hang out with the family. run about freely. that would be a few hours each day.
any feedback is soooooo appriciated!
thanks again!
4/10 update! I have made the tough yet good decision (ithink) to bring oreo back in the house.
After missing him terribly and my husband missed him too, i checked on him outside in the cage in the coop. he looked sad.
i cant explain it.
he has never been caged in his life.
i felt i was doing this to save our home. however i want my pets/animals to be happy.
soooo i took him back in the house, and you know what!! he is now using his litter box as once trained before!!! i cant believe it! its like he said,,,"i must use the box or mom is gonna put me back out there with them "
Even my husband is happier about mr.oreo being back in the house.
I put a new rug for him on the floor. and put some card board peices on the walll. (incase he wants to chew them again)
It doesnt look attrractive but i dont care. because when all said and done.. its my home.. our home...
