My friend came over to meet Marco and proceeded to lecture me about spoiling / wasting my money. Now to me its not sppiling him yet. The weather has been super hot and my room gets warm. I'm on a lower level so I don't feel comforrable leaving the window side open at night or when I'm not home. I have a fan on the roof but it doesn't reach as low as he is. So I brought in a stand fan and aimed it so it wouldn't be on him but still reach him. He wasn't touching the hay that came with thje cage so I bought a bag from Walmart which he seems to eat. I bought a couple toys for him so when I'm at work so he isn't bored also weighted dishes as well. I give him bottled water as our tap water is so bad it smells like a swimming pool. I wouldn't call it spoiling him yet, but she told me its a rabbit he doesn't need all that.

You know what I'm hearing him say to you? It's justan animal! Animals have feelings too. People forget that.

You know Ricki, there a lot worse things you could do with your money than spend it on pets. It makes them feel good and you obviously enjoy it, so go for it. . . and enjoy yourself. People who abuse and neglect animals also abuse and neglect people. . . so maybe people who spoil and care for animals spoil and care for people as well.

our rabbit has his cage in the living room. he hates being cooped up in the bedroom! he has fun teasing the husky, but i think the husky has learned to ignore him. he gets fresh bedding/hay every week. we give him one of those big logs for him to chew on and he'll flip it upside and lay in it! talk about lazy!! he lays on it and chews on it at the same time!!!! he doesn't care for the mixed food. he rather have the pellet food, so he's picky. when he does get out of the cage (usually for cleaning) he has fun "exploring" the living room. spoil marco! we spoil roger!

I think a lot of people like to spoil their pets, and it is up to them whether they choose to do that or not. When I get my money at the end of the month, I know that I can do whatever I want to with it, and if that involves spending a lot of money on my pets then that is just what I am going to do. Our pets can be like our best friends, and we would buy things for them if we wanted to, so I don't really see why people start to get worked up when we want to spend money on our pets. We love them, and we would certainly do anything for them.

Sounds to me like your not spoiling him yet although knowing you I'm sure you will be lol from what you listed off all the basics that every bunny owner should take into account for their bunny's well being but then bunny's don't usually get taken care of to well they are the most neglected animal in North America ahead of both dogs and cats
To me it sounds like you have covered all the required basics now let the spoiling begins :p

Because of the heat he may need that. At least the fan. Something you may think about at a local small zoo in the petting zoo they put frozen 2liter bottles of water and the rabbits would lay next to them to cool off. Also maybe some ice in his water dish.

The way I feel is if you wouldn't want to deal with it, why should you make a pet deal with it? Pets have feelings, and they have comfort needs as well. You're not spoiling him at all.
