Creating a Home for Su
Rabbits are also creatures of habit and for the most part they are very clean animals. For this reason, and to keep my landlords happy, I kept Su in a large cadge at night and when I was away. His cadge was large enough for him to run around in and was stocked with fresh timothy hay and clean water.
When I was home, Su ran free. His favorite thing to do was run bullet lines that stretched the length of the railroad apartment – he would zip back and forth as fast as he could until he got dizzy and then he would stop abruptly, confused and out of breath.
During the day Su’s cadge was converted into a litter box. I flipped the top part sideways and hung his water bottle and grain dish from its bars. The bottom of the cadge was lined with hay and newspaper, and I rewarded him with a sweet and tasty baby carrot every time he used his litter box.
