a petland had a huge rabbit in a small cage for about 3 weeks. i noticed him immediately (obviously lol). i talked it over with my girl and we were interested. i go to the store and see a worker playing with it out back so it can stretch his legs. they said 10 bucks and i can have it since they cant get rid of it. someone bought him and then brought him back when he got large.
anyways, i had him for two days. i was reading on how to introduce him to the cat. the cat just runs away right now, which is fine. i just didn't want the cat to hurt it.
the problem...
when i was at work, my girl said it had attacked her. im like yea ok sure. so i come back and take i out to play and its hopping around jumping on and off the couch so i go to sit on the floor and pet it.
he was just chilling...next thing you know, he does this crazy jump spin move thing getting piss all over my legs and beer. i was like wtf is this?
so i come back after i cleaned up...he starts chasing me making this crazy grunting noise. im like oh crap. he keeps trying to bite my foot. i smacked him with a towel to get him to stop but it didnt work. i literally had to jump up on my chair and stay there.
i had to push him back in the cage with a large vodka bottle and a towel.
we were getting along great until that incident. i dont know what triggered it. i was reading he is just trying to set up territory. thats fine with the cat, but now with me. thats out of hand. some sites recommended neutering if caught early, but this is an adult.
so, here are the options
1) work with him and fix this
2) build a huge outdoor enclose/hutch and get him an altered female
(im on the bottom apartment of a house and the hutch would be right next to the house so its not like it would be isolated and rotting away.
3) post an add on craigslist to a good home.
whats not an option...
1)going back to petland in that small cramped cage with bleach smell everywhere
2) rotting at a shelter
i feel sorry i had to smack it but it didn't seem phased to be honest...i was really freaking out though. the thing was lunging for me and grunting.
here he is with my girlfriend for size reference (when hes being nice)
