so if youve read my last post then you’ll know whats going on; well i have sort of “decided” on moving the rabbit cage (AKA XL dog crate) out of my room and into the dining room. however i have my concerns. but i’ll tell you what my plan is first.
so my plan is to move the cage out of my room and into my dining room; but i will give him free time inside of my room. good idea? and its not like im deathly allergic or anything. i am getting over a cold and i seem to cough around him. and i dont know if this is because of my rabbit or because of my cold or a contribution of both. but i am wheezing a bit; but i have had HORRIBLE congestion lately and i have been wheezing on and off for a couple of days. also i was outside today and it was sort of cold out. is this a good plan? he will still have a lot of free time; if not more but im just worried about:
1) transportation. i have a carrier but it takes forever for him for him to get in -_-. i have tried treats but once it is in the carrier its as if he totally forgets about it.
2) my family. my sister likes to bang on the piano. she also plays some baby songs like… some easy songs like old mcdonald had a farm and etc. she is young and really loves my rabbit because “he is so cute”; and also my mom… im afraid they will hover over the cage and stress him out. but i mean he will be in my room free range most of the time anyway… (more room since the cage will be out) . and she uses the “i take piano lessons” excuse for all the noise she makes.
3) my dog. he and my rabbit have met; my rabbit doesnt care; he doesnt react to my dogs barks either which is good since my dog barks a lot. but since he doesnt react to it i as thinking that maybe he is used to the sound of his barking? also my dog doesnt care about my rabbit. he will stare for a few seconds but then walk off.
4) whenever he is in my room wont he feel “stressed” that his cage isnt in my room? cause usually he goes in his cage to relax and stuff after hes done playing; but now he has decided to flop on the carpet ha. i will provide another water dish and transport his little box into my room and back into his cage when its time for him to go to sleep. (not a big deal since i spot clean it daily after hes eaten his veggies, and i could just feed him his afternoon veggies in my room.) . but i dont want him to think that his “safe haven” (cage) is gone and that when he comes into my room there is so protection? no one comes into my room and he seems to be pretty used to me but you know.. just in case. also what if his cage becomes a dread? cause of all the noise? and lights, sounds and smells? usually my house is fairly quiet but when im not in my room i am very loud. (not screaming) but i like to talk loudly and laugh obnoxiously about lots of things lol. could i buy a blanket and cover half the cage with a blanket? it would also help keep the hairs in cause he likes to sleep on the second level and lots of hairs like to stick out from the sides. i would only cover half of the cage with a blanket.
is this even a good idea? i dont want to weaken my already weak immune system,. but i mean the only symptom i have is coughing and my air is very stuffy and hard to breathe in because its so thick? cant explain it though… thanks! btw, he would only be in his cage whenever i am asleep and at school; like always. he has never ventured out of my room before. he has went outside though (today was his first day and he was only out for eh… 10 mins). thanks!
