I just adopted a bunny two weeks ago. I used to have bunnies and other pets as a child but this is the first pet I’m responsible for all by myself. Before I adopted him I read up on everything I could find about bunnies and I think I was very prepared. He is running around freely in my apartment and is only locked in his playpen occasionally. This has been going great! He’s potty trained and he barely chews on my things. He’s just very curious and loves to explore my apartment. All in all, he’s a great bunny. He’s sweet, cuddly, well-behaved and playful. He loves being petted by me or even others and often asks for it.
Now, for the last week after the initial excitement left I started to feel weird about having a bunny in my apartment. I love pets and I was sure I would love to have him around me but now I’m not so sure about it anymore. I can’t pinpoint it but somehow I regret having adopted him even though he’s so great. I get annoyed at his noises in the morning and almost feel like he’s “invading my space”. At the same time, I have this feeling that people think it’s weird that I have a bunny run around freely in my apartment and judge me for it. I know it shouldn’t matter to me what other people think and I don’t even know if that’s what they think but somehow I can’t get that thought out of my head. The last thing that I keep thinking about is that I always wanted a dog and will likely get one with my bf one day in the future. Before I got the bunny I thought that the bunny and the dog would just get along when we get one if introduced properly. Now I’m just wondering if I made the wrong decision getting a bunny now while I actually want a dog later.
It’s only been two weeks, should I give it more time? Or should I make the decision to give him away while he’s still young and new to my house? His previous owner has a lot of bunnies in a big outdoor space and offered me to take him back if that ever becomes necessary so that option is there I just don’t know if that’s what I want. I don’t know if I want him or not.
