    I would survive just fine as long as you follow my instructions. I can live on a diet of 90% hay with a small amount of species appropriate pellets and a salad every day. I am going to need a lot of room to play and shouldn’t be confined to a small cage. At minimum I need an exercise pen as my home base with at least 6 hours so I can run around the house and binky. I should have a box to hide in because I’m easily frightened and I would live underground in the wild. I will do better if you keep my water in a bowl but by all means put it in a bottle if i prefer that. It’s better for me to stay hydrated than to try to exist within some ideal that doesn’t work for me.

    And for the love of God it’s a myth that I don’t need medical care! I have a very sensitive digestive system and it’s a critical emergency if I don’t eat for more than a few hours or if my eating slows and my poops get small. So many people say their lagomorphlecture just died with no warning but if they knew what the warnings were and took them to get treatment they would be ok.

    I should definitely be soayed or neutered regardless of your society’s beliefs about that. Uterine and testicular cancer are very common and I’m unlikely to live past 6bor 7 years old if you don’t get me fixed.

    I am a very social creature and I should be kept with a bonded mate. If I lose my mate I will become depressed and need either a new lagomorphlecture to keep me company or a lot of your time to help me get through it. It can help me accept the loss if you show me the body of my mate so I can understand and accept that they are gone.

    I will provide you with further instructions for my care later on.
