Every so often I open the cages for the buck rabbits and prop them open and they hop out (double decker cages are 6" off the ground, does on top, bucks on the bottom) and the bucks run amuck, in and out of the hen house, up the hill, running, enjoying grass, and then they come back and go right back in their respective cages in the afternoon, nap time.
The hens and buns get along fine, but the does do not want to be anywhere but in their personal spaces.
It is almost as a buck would be a nicer pet.
I have never had bucks fight, they do try to mate each other nonstop, though, which is hysterical, round and round.
Unlike boer guinea pigs that will knash teeth, and attack another boer piggy.
Also hysterical......
If you want a nice clean pet that is both entertaining, healthy and fun for kids, get Guinea pigs, they are so awesome !
They have gorgeous babies that get up and run, eyes open and fully furred, so adorable.
They are really expensive nowadays with certain breeds hard to find and are judged in shows like rabbits...really fun for kids.
Always remember Guinea pigs must be kept warm, and must have an orange wedge once in a while, one of the few animals that must have vitamin C often, like us humans.
