new bunny wants to explore outside his cage

[manda]

everytime i open up his door out he comes! theni have to herd him back in. he seems so at home and isnt scared ofanything! i am wondering if i should build him a play pen to attach tohis cage when i want him out?? is it too early for him to explore? itsjust day two, but he is sooo eager i dont see what it could hurt. alsowhen do you think he can be introduced to Ryo. i was guessing prettysoon since he is eating, drinking and playing. doing binkies and deadbunny flops so he must be pretty comfortable. so far i rubbed him downwith a sock and put it in Ryos cage. they have seen each other throughthe cage bars but thats about it.

oh yeah and about letting him have some romeing time... wont that be bad since i am trying to litter train him?

I let my buns go roam about the day after Ibrought them home. I don't see any harm in letting himexplore your place as long as it is bunny-proofed, which I imagine itis since you have another bun. Buns need their exercise soI'm sure he would very much like the chance to go stretch his legs.

Even with my guys and girls not being fixed yet they haven't been badabout peeing all over the place. Sure there was a bit in thebeginning but that subsided after a few weeks.

I've never had to introduce a new bunny to my group. You maytry just putting them together and closely observing them being readyto separate them if any problems occur. Maybe the same tipsfor bonding bunnies can help introduce them. Things liketaking the two of them to an unfamiliar/neutral area. Thatway they'll want to team up to tackle this new frontier.There is a thread with resources about bonding bunnies that may proveuseful to you.http://rabbitsonline.net/view_topic.php?id=12072&forum_id=17

so since he seems so relaxed you think he is ready to meet Ryo? i was just worried about stressing him out too much.

i will be ready if they start fighting. i got a water pistol just for this reason
