Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is staying safe during this time! I would like to get people's suggestions and opinions to see if my rabbits lifestyle is healthy for him. This may be a long post about his daily routine but I want to make sure my rabbit will stay happy and healthy!
I adopted a neutered, litter trained havana mix from a rescue society mid June of this year (was 4 yrs old). He is now about 6 months old! He was very scared and shy in the beginning but he is now getting a little more comfortable around us which makes me soo happy. The first 1-1/2 month he was in a 4x6 c&c cage but he is now free roam in our bunny-proofed apartment. He gets the whole apartment (about 800 square ft) so the living room/kitchen (combined), our computer room (no access to wires) and a small bathroom (with no windows). We always close our bedroom door since we do not want him hiding under/jump on our bed. So ever since he has been free roaming our home, he has been going to our bathroom around 7am everyday. Our apartment is a corner unit facing East = pretty hot during summer so we keep the AC on all the time.
Since he hangs out in our washroom because its the coolest room in our apartment, I made sure to put 2nd litterbox with plenty of hay in there and water bowl. For some reason he does not poop or pee in washroom litter box at all, he just eats the hay. He only poops in his main litterbox which is in the living room when he runs back out there around 7-8pm (what a schedule!). In the middle of this, he would visit me in the computer room around 3-5pm that I hang out in all day because I don't have work. There I give him plenty of pets and pellets. Then he would leave to go to the living room (6-8pm) for the rest of the night which use to be his main chilling area. After my husband gets off work around the same time, we would spend time with him in the living room watching t.v until 11pm. He would zoom and bink to distract us which is quite cute!
I noticed that this is his routine so I am just wondering if its healthy for him not to go poop/pee from 7am-8pm every single day. He is not acting strange at all, he does zoomies, binkies, fur looks great, grooms himself, eats pellets/hay/treats normally, drinks water, poops in the evening and sits still for pets. I hope this is nothing to worry about but wanted to double check. Thank you so much for reading this long post! Here is a picture of him hanging out with us in our computer room!
