I’m a bad bunny mommy.

[Ana]

Sorry for all the posting, but I did it again.  I got a guinea pig a few years back, knowing nothing about them.  I realized how bad of a move this was– you should always research first.  Well, Evie, my lionhead, was kind of the same thing.  I did some research first, but since I’ve joined this site I’ve realized how unprepared I am! I want to be the best mommy for her. 

She’s in a cage right now, and I plan to get her an ex-pen in a month.  We’re still bodning and she’s not fully potty trained, so I can’t give her free range yet.  I’ll get her spayed once I find a good vet, and hopefully that will help with the potty training.  But, she gets so restless.  I feel bad because she doesn’t have a lot of space or out time (I try to give her at least an hour out and about in the bathroom with me.)

How can I be a better mommy until she’s potty trained/I get an expen?  I’m sure this sounds very paranoid and dramatic, but I feel like she’s my baby and I don’t want to mess up!

Thanks.

Could you make something temporarily to block her off from things in a room until you get the xpen? Supervised of course. She should really get out more than and hour a day.  You should also put a 2nd litter box out in the expanded area.

I don’t know where you live in the Seattle area but I can recommend our vet who is a specialist in rabbits he is located on main street in Bothell.

Dr Maas is wonderful, he totally understands crazy bunny people like us!   We even board our 3 buns at his clinic when we go on vacation.
