I got my boys, nibbles and munch 3 weeks ago. They settled in no problem and are 4 months old. We originally planned to keep them inside but I have really bad asthma and hay fever so on Sunday we had to go and buy them an outside hutch. I was really upset as I was worried my oh and daughter would lose interest in them outside. Well, they spent one night outside and I felt so guilty and missed them so much I brought them back into the house tonight!
I need to clear out the spare bedroom and they will live in there. I have a few questions though. I am trying to keep the smells to a minimum, what is the best bedding to use? I've been using sawdust but it's not ideal. I read about vetbed products and ordered some today. What would I do, just line the bottom of the cage with it? Or does it need anything underneath or on top of it? It's all so confusing! When using this what should I put in their igloo's? I've got a hay holder thing on the side of the cage and a cardboard tube stuffed full of hay, is that enough for them? I give them pellets and veg too.
Phew...sorry for being so long winded, just need to be sure I'm doing the right thing for them. My OH doesn't know I've brought them back inside yet so will probably go nuts at me after buying the hutch on Sunday!
