Posting a new thread here to get feedback. We rescued a baby cottontail about 3 weeks ago. We are predicting he is around 8 weeks old now. He has been growing and healthy and does not seem to be sick or suffering. We believe he was born with back leg paralysis. He is well adjusted and still quite nimble getting himself around his cage.
I see tons of posts about exercising rabbits, play pens, size of homes, etc. Since he has limited mobility I don't want to move him into something too big to maneuver, but I don't want him to be in something too small either. We are beginning to consider an outdoor hutch/coop and I wanted to get general feedback. We live in the midwest so the temperature this season is mostly mild and we would put him up against the garage in the shade.
Or maybe the cage is fine? Just looking for what has worked for others. Bonus points if anyone has worked directly with partial paralysis lol![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
