Me and SWMBO are buying out first house soon and we are going to get a pet as everyhouse needs a pet and she neverhad a pet with fur and 4 legs before, the problem we have is that we both work some daft shifts so can be out of the house for a while. We got thinking about getting a pair of bunnys and keeping them indoors (neutered of course)

the reason we thought that a couple of rabbits would be a good idea is

-2 rabbits can keep themselves company when we are not there
-small animals
-can be litter trained
-clean animals
-look to be a laugh when they go giddy from the youtube videos we have seen

From the web searching i have done so far i have worked out that they dont like to be picked up and they need to almost be coaxed into interacting and the space in the inside cage is bunny only territory

Anything ive missed/anything i need to know?

the plan would be to allow them in the hall, front room and kitchen, im assuming a babygate at the bottom of the stairs will stop them getting upstairs. I spotted from some of the research i found that they can have polor opposite characters but we will probably get a pair that are already bonded from bunny rescue. Cabling is something i thought about but im asssuming if i run all cabing in trunking and block bunny access to behind the tv i should be ok right?
