How do you make your bunny sleep with you?

Answer 1

Temptingly cute though the idea of allowing your ferret to sleep in your bed with you may be, it's definitely not recommended. Ferrets sometimes sleep so deeply that their owners can't wake them even by handling them and believe them to be dead - so, if you were roll over onto your ferret it'd be in real danger of suffocation because it might not wake up as a cat would.

You could, of course, keep a cage in the bedroom so they're near you while you sleep.

Advise from another contributor:

My ferret is free-roam in my bedroom which is very much ferret proofed, he is not caged. I have steps next to the bed so he can sleep in bed with me.

Answer 2

Well, if you want to make your bunny sleep with you - in your bed - you'll need to get it trust you first. Make sure you feed it by hand and look after it, and it should gradually become accustomed to you.

Before you let it venture out of its cage, make sure that there are no particularly harmful obstacles that it could hurt itself on or with, and close the door so that it can't escape and fall down the stairs (if you are upstairs).

Let it become accustomed to your scent and maybe scatter a little food in your bed if your bunny is very reluctant.

A different answer: You can't make your bunny sleep with you. It's just not a good idea. Reasons why:

• If your rabbit doesn't want to do it, forcing her (or him) to do it would be a really stressful experience for her. Also, she won't trust you after that.
• You might roll over and injure her.
• Rabbits are crepuscular: they don't sleep straight through the night, but need to get up and hop around and graze and use the toilet.

Rabbits are living creatures, with their own rights. You should respect that, and try to provide for your bunny in the ways best for her (not you). See the related questions below for more information.

Ferrets will usually adjust to their owner's schedule. They do eat about every 3 to four hours and sleep about 19 hours daily. Provice splenty of activity outside the cage before you want them to sleep. They need a dark quiet environment with a sleep area they can burrow into.
