The Journey of Cottonball

[newchck]

well my one cat just met the bun, they touched noses through the cage and I am pretty sure he thinks the bun is dinner, he is now crying outside of the bedroom... Not sure if this will work.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have cats so I cannot give much advice on acclimation...is just keeping cotton ball in his own room away from the cats an option? My bearded dragon is terrified of Niven so we had to figure out ways to keep them in different rooms.

Why line the litter box? A layer of urine soaked paper at the bottom would be a pain to scrape off every time you clean the box.

I also would not recommend a covered box. More expensive, plus harder to clean and monitor. Also rabbits prefer to have more than one entrance/exit. A regular cat box works great. Chewy often has the best prices and selection, IMO.

That's true!

I've always seen people line it but I've never thought about it getting soaked.

I guess it depends on the rabbit but people use the hooded ones since it's like a hidey house. But yeah they definitely prefer ones will two or more entries.

I'm using an under the bed storage tub.

Mine just have paper bedding and hay in them. I like it because I can just tip the whole thing into the compost and then refill with fresh. Easy peasy.

My husband and I will have to talk about it, we can keep the setup that we have in our room, but our room is tiny so it would be VERY tight. I am willing to do it, but I am not sure he would. We are looking for a home so hopefully soon we wll have much more space!

Cottonball weighs 11.4 oz today, crazy! He got his litterbox after I got home from work, and so far there is no pee outside of the box, and just a few poos. He is doing great so far!

Cottonball and I are leaving in a little less than an hour for his vet appointment with an exotic vet at a VCA. Please pray that all goes well and we are able to get rid of these fleas and make sure everything else is good!

Vet was good!! Got treatment for fleas and she said Cottonball looks nice and healthy, he is a male for sure

Cottonballs cage setup and him munching. I am bulding him a "run" today to bring in the house so he won't be able to escape so he can have run access 24/7 Hopefully when he has run access 24/7 he will continue using the litter box. So far the majority of poos have been in the box, and he has not peed outside of the box at all. though I am really only worried about him peeing in the box, the poo is so easy to clean up.
