Hello everyone, my name is Jacob and my girlfriend Liv recently moved in with me (3 months ago) and brought her 3 rabbits with her.
There are 2 girls; Muffin and Treelo, and one boy; Nero.
At the moment we have them all in separate cages, as they are all unspayed/unneutered as of now due to finance issues. Muffin also tends to become very territorial in her cage and will attack Treelo if she goes into it, so we've kept them all apart.
In the day, we let them all run about the garden and sometimes bring them in the house and let them run across my room, never letting the male out near the females.
Due to me not having much knowledge on rabbits, is there a page where I can find out EVERYTHING that a rabbit owner should know? All health checks I should be doing, things for extreme temperatures and also things that will keep my rabbits happy and entertained while inside and outside of their cages.
One of the main concerns I have at the moment is that Treelo always makes a whimpering noise whenever I go near her cage, even without putting my hands in there (as I know you're not really supposed to do that, and just let them come out to greet you on their own). No matter how much I leave the door open, Treelo will never leave her hutch on her own and just sits in a corner whimpering. Whenever she's out the cage she NEVER makes this noise, even if you lift her out she stops the second she leaves the hutch. Is this anything that's concerning, or is this normal rabbit behaviour, as my other female - Muffin, becomes aggressive and growls whenever I go near her cage, and I think this is normal behaviour as she is trying to protect her territory.
Our boy on the other hand is the happiest bun ever, as soon as you go near the hutch he's ready to come out and jump on your lap to greet you!
Muffin is 1.5 years old, Treelo is almost 2 years old and Nero had his first birthday this weekend. They are all from the same mother, a lovely rabbit named Sherbet who Liv used to own.
Thanks for any help you can provide, and I hope to be able to offer people some help of my own once I've learned enough.
