My family is taking a month long trip abroad in June. This is longer than I’ve ever been away from Benny before, and whenever I did leave, my parents took care of him. We have someone renting our basement apartment who has agreed to watch him while we’re away, but I’m still very anxious about everything. He lived in a big, two-story hutch outdoors for the first 6 years of his life, and I would bring him inside almost daily. In October 2014 he got stasis and bladder sludge, and has been living in my room full-time since. He can be pretty territorial and has basically claimed my room as his own. He will charge whenever anyone walks through the door and try to demand food or pets. He can be a bit on the aggressive side when people he doesn’t know come in my room and I’m worried that keeping him in my room while we’re away isn’t the best option. He’s been getting more outgoing in my room and is hopping/exploring all over the place, which is fine when I’m able to watch him, but I’m not sure it’s a good idea when someone is just checking on him a few times a day. I’m thinking maybe I should try to transition him back to his hutch outside so that I don’t have to worry about the trouble he could get into. The lady watching him could feed on him/check on him 2-3 times a day, I have some kids in the neighborhood who have offered to play with him while we’re away, and I could see if our vet friend could stop by once a week and make sure everything checks out health-wise. I know keeping rabbits outside is frowned upon on here, but I feel like it might be the best option. 

Any input would be greatly appreciated, I’m really torn about what the best thing to do is.
