Chicken swap Milford TSC June 21st (new date)

[chickn]

i have noticed that she is almost too warm if thats possible in the house, and i put her in front of the window to get a breeze. but i hate thinking of her out alone

i used to have a dwarf, and i got him fixed and got him a lion head girlfriend. he passed this past winter. the bigger rabbits i have are alone, she is just so little

It is possible, if she is in the window and cannot get out of the sun-- it's not good. Mine have cages where they have shelter to get out of the elements and a wire cage area that they can get fresh air in. It's tough in the summer months, I freeze water bottles to put in their cages 2x a day so that they can lay next to it and cool themselves down if necessary. Who says you are supposed to keep food in the freezer?? Oh yeah I have food in it, bird food so I don't ge those darn moths!!!!!!

I too have similar questions. I'd like to add a bunny or 2 to our menagerie but I'm not sure what the best living arrangements are and if the need other bunnies (same sex!) for companionship.

And are Lops suitable for younger kids?

If it's easier I can try to find you on Sunday.

Okay Ladies.....

As long as you have a spot in your yard that is shady Wendy she could be outside no problem. Bunnies and rabbits cannot tolerate direct sun and get heat exhaustion VERY easily. Mine ALL live outside, Oh God YES! 365 days a year-- She doesn't need a friend, no. You are just being an overprotective new bunny mum.

Tell me about it. The sun thing.
I have a Holland Lop, the big one. And when i got him, i was told he was a girl.
Well i was holding him out side, and i was rubbing his belly that i thought at the time was a female.

I freaked out. I saw the most swollen things

I thought it had a tumor, then i posted on here about it, and found out LOL it was a boy and the heat made him swollen,

That's when i found out and learned more that rabbits can not be in direct sun or too hot of temps.

She'll get a bit bigger yet, definately not done growing. As I said before she will be fine and I believe rabbits make better pets if they look to you for companionship instead of another rabbit. My macaws are the same way, fine with us when they are apart but will protect one another when they are together.

Unfortunately a whole LOT of passing showers - and a flood watch thru late Sunday. And quite chilly with temps in the low to mid 60s. Ugh. Where is spring?

Watch a week from now will be 90.

Holland's aren't big, Shay. They are the smallest of the lop family... mini lops are actually bigger than hollands. I know it doesn't make sense, I didn't name the breed!

That is what the weatherman was saying this evening. I believe Wednesday-- HOT. But then again they get paid for being wrong, if you want to know what the weather is going to be like today, ask me tomorrow-- this is New England after all!
