Hi, please help me to settle a long running argument regarding our two indoor house bunnies.
Very brief history, two, 3 yr old rabbits living in separate pens, in my dining room and I am unable to let them anywhere near each other as the female bunny has 'form' in being fairly vicious with the male bunny. Therefore double the living space and double the time to care for them.
The rabbits have fallen out of favour with the rest of the family as both kids have become allergic to them and my DH didn't really want them in the first place, so it is mainly me who has to do all the care.
The problem is, although they are fed, watered, sheltered and have their health needs met- they do not get any exercise or human contact at all outside of being fed and cleaned out. They have individual pens which are 5x5 ft so although ok as a living space, they are not getting any exercise.
DH wants me to give the bunnies away to an animal rescue because he wants the dining room 'back' whereas I feel that although they aren't getting everything they need, they are possibly getting far more than they would in a rescue.
Am I BU? Would they be better off being re-homed?
Any opinions gratefully considered.
