Hey, I hope everyone is doing well
3 days ago I rescued a gray chinchilla rabbit, he is very sweet and likes to explore and is very active.
I took him to the vet and he is 100% healthy and is one month old.But I have been confused about a couple of things and I hope someone could help me out
first of all I need to know how long will it take the rabbit to be potty trained I’ve been scooping his poop and wiping his urine and putting it back into the litter box, When cleaning it I put back some of the old poop and urine but he still refuses to use the litter box, he’d rather do it everywhere else instead. He was in a bad condition before I got him in a very small cage with six more rabbits, none of them are potty trained or handled well.
Second he keeps pushing and pulling on the cage trying to get out and I need him to stay inside until he is potty trained how do I stop him from doing that
also the rabbit has always used water bottles to drink water and now that I provided him with a bowl he refuses to drink from it and I’m afraid he’s going to get dehydrated
One more thing is that he is not afraid of me he likes to sniff me as soon as he sees me walking around and he runs right towards me and asks for attention but as soon as I try to pet him he runs away???
I feed him Timothy Hay Fresh veggies and sometimes some fruits. he adores strawberries and will only eat them from my hand but I’m very confused about his behaviors and what I should do to make him more comfortable and let him forget the old horrible life he used to live in
